ABSTRACT
In Chapter 1, we have identifi ed the channels through which linguistic diversity infl uences, from the perspective of standard microeconomic theory, fi rms’ performance. And after reviewing theoretical and empirical work on the matter, this has led us, in Chapter 5 to develop a new model that formalises some core relationships. Our model provides an analytical structure for analysing the linguistic aspects of fi rms’ performance, by highlighting how linguistically-marked economic variables determine each other.
