Series Statement: Easy - Plain - Accessible

Content: This book shows how accessible communication, and especially easy-to-understand languages, should be designed in order to become instruments of inclusion. It examines two well-established easy-to-understand varieties: Easy Language and Plain Language, and shows that they have complementary profiles with respect to four central qualities: comprehensibility, perceptibility, acceptability and stigmatisation potential. The book introduces Easy and Plain Language and provides an outline of their linguistic, sociological and legal profiles: What is the current legal framework of Easy and Plain Language? What do the texts look like? Who are the users? Which other groups are involved in the production and use of Easy and Plain Language offers? Which qualities are a hazard to acceptability and, thus, enhance their stigmatisation potential? The book also proposes another easy-to-understand variety: Easy Language Plus. This variety balances the four qualities and is modelled in the present book.

Content: Bilingual edition (English/German) / Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) Experimental dwelling forms—CoHousing Cultures—are entering the mainstream. But to what extent are they accessible and affordable for all, including people with more or less money, with or without refugee experience, with or without disabilities? Community- led housing initiatives are already developing diverse, sustainable neighborhoods, driven by civil society and increasingly supported by foundations, cooperatives and municipalities as well as housing companies and developers.This book contains critical reviews of model projects representing a multifaceted European movement, complemented with photos and drawings. Short texts argue how political and financial conditions can be improved to better realize community housing. Finally, a range of voices offer unconventional and promising strategies.

Content: Zweisprachige Ausgabe (deutsch/englisch) / Bilingual edition (English/German) Experimentelle Wohnformen – CoHousing Cultures – kommen immer mehr im Mainstream an. Aber inwieweit sind sie zugänglich und leistbar für alle: Menschen mit unterschiedlichen Einkommenslagen, mit und ohne Fluchterfahrung, mit und ohne Behinderung? Selbstbestimmte, soziale Wohnprojekte entwickeln bereits solche vielfältigen wie nachhaltigen Nachbarschaften und werden nicht nur zivilgesellschaftlich, sondern verstärkt auch von Wohnungsunternehmen wie Genossenschaften gefördert.Das Buch beinhaltet kritische Betrachtungen von Modellprojekten einer vielseitigen europäischen Bewegung, aufbereitet mit Fotos und Illustrationen. Politische und finanzielle Bedingungen für eine bessere Umsetzung gemeinschaftlicher Wohnformen werden erörtert und durch eine Reihe von Stimmen, die vielversprechende Strategien bereithalten, ergänzt.
