Hola, les remito esta nota de prensa de UNESCO sobre una reciente
publicaci�n en relacion al multilinguismo en Internet, solo que me queda
una duda y la duda es que es una publicaci�n en ingles y me pregunto: y el
multinguismo para acceder a la informaci�n?

>UNESCO Publishes Series of Articles on Multilingualism on the Internet
>12-03-2004 (UNESCO)
>
>�Multilingualism on the Internet� is the title of the latest issue of
>UNESCO�s International Journal on Multicultural Societies (IJMS) that was
>commissioned by UNESCO's Initiative B@bel. Edited by Sue Wright, the issue
>contains articles by Mathias K�nig, David Block, Helen Kelly Holmes, Safari
>Mafu, Richard Peel, Helen Gerrard and Sachiko Nakamura.
>
>The Internet is a prime example of how ICT affects patterns of language
>use. These changes can have a number of far-ranging social, economic and
>other effects so public language policies may provide useful responses to
>these new challenges and opportunities.
>
>On the one hand, the Internet seems to reinforce global trends of
>linguistic standardization. On the other hand, it may also support the
>maintenance of local minority languages particularly in situations, where
>access to national spheres of communication is restricted and conventional
>resources for storing multilingual information are scarce. Little empirical
>data on these phenomena which would allow one to assess the multifaceted
>effects of ICT on the globalisation and/or localisation of languages is
>however currently available.
>
>The issue �Multilingualism on the Internet� that is online available at
>http://www.unesco.org/shs/ijms aims at contributing to original
>socio-linguistic research about the linguistic impacts of the Internet and
>at filling this knowledge gap.
>
>The research, carried out under the coordination of Sue Wright (Aston
>University, UK), attempts to break new ground by collecting and analyzing
>empirical data on patterns of language use on the Internet in the African,
>Arab, Asian and European region.
