Texts and Resources on Intercomprehension*

(*mutual intelligibilty, using similarities between languages, analoguous language learning, multilingualism, grannspråksförståelse...)

Intercomprehension

to understand the language of the other, while using one's own - an untapped resource in human interaction - oral or written - face-to-face or long-distance. To make sense of human communication is a part of making sense of the world. We use context, social skills, genre skills, and general knowledge, in addition to the words - many of which we share across different languages.
