Jean-Claude Corbeil is an expert in linguistic planning, with a world-wide reputation in the fields of comparative terminology and socio-linguistics. He serves as a consultant to various international organizations and governments. Ariane Archambault , a specialist in applied linguistics, has devoted several years to the teaching of foreign languages. It was therefore natural for her to become a terminologist and author of dictionaries. |
