التطوع اللغوي بين الواقع و المأمول

Abstract EN

Volunteer work is a non-profit, social work done willingly.

It is usually carried out by an individual voluntarily without payment or material remuneration, based upon his/her personal convictions, his/her own principles, and motivated by the needs of human society in general at any place and any time.

Linguistic volunteerism refers to the actions that individuals and institutions willingly undertake in order to protect and defend the language, and to repel all attempts of extermination and distortion from the languages of the contemporary world, based upon their full awareness of the importance of language and the society's need to preserve its identity and presence among societies.

Through this intervention, we aim to highlight what volunteering is in general, and what linguistic volunteering is, and its importance in particular, as well as highlighting Arab and international experiences in the field.
