L’intercompréhension entre langues romanes dans le paradoxe langues proches /pays lointains : recherches et coopérations entre l’Europe et les Amériques

As a follow-up to the 2019 “participatory debate” initiated by the associations ACEDLE, ASDIFLE and TRANSIT-lingua on the role of languages in globalisation, we look at the forms of cooperation that bring together teacher-researchers in the field of intercomprehension between Europe and the Americas, North and South. Given the distances between the speakers of Latin languages in Europe and in the countries where these languages spread during the colonial era, it was long before the pandemic that the field was equipped with online teaching materials and interaction platforms allowing Romance speakers from all over the world to collaborate remotely: a very useful achievement in times of obligatory distance learning. The current challenges for a more equal intercontinental cooperation lead us to formulate some proposals for future collaborations.
