| Abstract: | Intercomprehension is a fascinating relatively new field of applied general linguistics that can give us the measure of comprehension between people that are not part of the same family of languages. This paper is a Case Study that tries to prove the rate of reading comprehension of a Romanic family text (i.e. Romanian) for people who learned English as a second language. The study was performed on 48 respondents who do not know Romanian and were asked to read twenty questions in Romanian and answer them if they could understand, or at least mention in English the words or phrases they believed that they could recognize. |
