Final deadline for submissions: October 31st, 2010.

The Canadian Modern Language Review (CMLR) invites manuscripts to be considered for a special issue on “Language barriers in access to healthcare services”, to appear in September 2011. Language barriers can potentially compromise healthcare delivery when professionals cannot speak the patient’s language or speak it poorly. Full and equitable healthcare is especially at risk in those areas where correct language usage—and the cultural values and norms such usage may reflect—plays a critical role in health communication.
