Title
Linguistic Influences on Professional Communication and Recognition: A Study of Chemists and Engineers in Two Quebec Universities
Abstract
The authors examine the linguistic influences on networks of professional communication and recognition between engineers at the Université de Montréal (École Polythechnique) and McGill University. The predominant language of international scientific communication and recognition is English. The authors found that although chemists and engineers at the Université de Montréal are less active researchers, their language of professional communication with other scientific communities is English and there is little sense of isolation.
