This volume contributes to the growing body of cutting-edge research into the Natural Semantic Metalanguage (NSM) approach in linguistics. It explores the broad range of possible applications enabled by the NSM approach, from linguistic studies of semantics and culture to cross-cultural studies, psychology and childhood education. The volume builds on previous studies, bringing a diversity of voices to this area, and covering sixteen languages. The volume celebrates the life and work of the late Bert Peeters, proponent and pioneer of the NSM approach in French. It comprises contributions from Peeters’ close associates, as well as former and current students, to engage with salient aspects of his work and honour his influence on the field, including conceptualisation of the term ‘applied ethnolinguistics’. The book is divided into four sections which reflect this diversity of applications and Peeters’ work in the field: applications outside of linguistics, semantics inside and outside Europe, and cultural scripts. This book will be of interest to a wide audience of scholars and students in applied linguistics and related fields, with a particular interest for scholars in semantics, pragmatics, cross-cultural communication, (language) education, Minimal English, and NSM.Chapter 15 is available open access under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License via link.springer.com.

I våra flerspråkiga samhällen är kommunikation och samverkan mellan människor viktigare än någonsin. Ett av skolans viktigaste uppdrag är därmed att ge eleverna möjlighet att utveckla sina språkliga förmågor, utveckla interkulturell och flerspråkig kompetens samt lära sig navigera i varierande kulturella kontexter. Denna antologi är tänkt att erbjuda inspiration, värdefulla kunskaper och praktiska råd till lärare och andra aktörer i skolan som ansvarar för språkundervisning och språkutbildning samt vara en resurs för lärarstudenter, lärarutbildare och forskare som arbetar med språk i en utbildningskontext. Antologin samlar texter som belyser språkundervisning ur både teoretiska och praktisk-didaktiska perspektiv. Med bidrag från verksamma lärare, lärarutbildare och forskare riktar antologin blicken mot dagens språkundervisning och belyser den spännvidd som finns inom den nordiska skolkontexten. Författarnas bidrag berör ett brett spektrum av klassrumspraktiker, såsom undervisning av språkliga kompentenser, bedömningspraktiker samt faktorer för språkundervisning och -inlärning. Idéen till antologin föddes i samband med att Fortbildningsavdelningen för skolans internationalisering (FBA) vid Uppsala universitet år 2024 fyllde 60 år.

This book is the third in a three-volume set that celebrates the career and achievements of Cliff Goddard, a pioneer of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach in linguistics. This third volume explores the potential of Minimal English, a recent offshoot of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage, with special reference to its use in Language Teaching and Intercultural Communication.Often considered the most fully developed, comprehensive and practical approach to cross-linguistic and cross-cultural semantics, Natural Semantic Metalanguage is based on evidence that there is a small core of basic, universal meanings (semantic primes) that can be expressed in all languages. It has been used for linguistic and cultural analysis in such diverse fields as semantics, cross-cultural communication, language teaching, humour studies and applied linguistics, and has reached far beyond the boundaries of linguistics into ethnopsychology, anthropology, history, political science, the medical humanities and ethics.

This book is the first in a three-volume set that celebrates the career and achievements of Cliff Goddard, a pioneer of the Natural Semantic Metalanguage approach in linguistics. In addition, it explores ethnopragmatics and conversational humour, with a further focus on semantic analysis more broadly.Often considered the most fully developed, comprehensive and practical approach to cross-linguistic and cross-cultural semantics, Natural Semantic Metalanguage is based on evidence that there is a small core of basic, universal meanings (semantic primes) that can be expressed in all languages.
