L’intercompréhension, rempart contre la glottophobie

Abstract

Because it favors diversity and multilingualism, intercomprehension is an approach that invites its followers to discover differences and adapt their opinion on the universe, languages spoken elsewhere and other people. Since it is a communication means that is fair, of an equal level, and respectful of interlocutors, it opposes racism and “glottophobia” while emphasizing minority languages, dialects and idioms that have been little institutionalized all this without creating a hierarchy between them. It is a profound humanistic approach that favors tolerance between human beings and is moreover profitable in terms of the energy that needs to be invested, meaning it is also environmentally friendly.
