After an introduction to some basic principles of the study of multilingualism, four intensive block sessions follow on the social aspects of multilingualism (including code switching/translanguaging and multilingual communication), the internal linguistic consequences of language contact (including transfer and borrowing) the way in which these social and linguistic aspects of multilingualism are present in the Brussels learning and living environment (Brussels as a 'living lab' for multilingualism research), and the challenges of a multilingualism policy in Brussels and beyond (including language planning and language policy, minority languages, 'heritage languages', language shift and language maintenance).
