Abstract
English is considered as the Latin of the 21st century and a language playing a relevant role in the internationalization of academe. Data collected through the Changing Academic Profession (CAP) survey—referring to 25,000 academics working in 18 countries located in 5 continents—allow to investigate whether and to what extent English is the contemporary academic “lingua franca,” and how it contributes to the internationalization of the academic profession in different countries.File in questo prodotto:
