The 2013 edition of the Ethnologue lists even 7106 living languages (Lewis et al. 2013). If speakers of different languages communicate with each other, they have to find a way of communicating across a linguistic border, and typologically speaking, with more than 7000 languages, there are currently more than 25 million linguistic borders in the world. | Publication Type: | Journal Article | Source of Publication: | Linguistics, 53(2), p. 211-217 | Publisher: | De Gruyter Mouton | Place of Publication: | Germany | ISSN: | 1613-396X 0024-3949 |
