Abstract
Comprehensible Language and Effective Communication II
This special issue presents an overview of the outcomes of the research programme called Comprehensible Language and Effective Communication (Dutch National Science Foundation, 2011-2016). This programme aimed to stimulate fundamental and applied research on comprehensible and effective communication. A core characteristic of the programme was private-public cooperation: profit and non-profit organisations contributed to the programme and to the research projects within the program. A second characteristic of the programme was its interdisciplinarity. The research projects combined expertise from linguistic communication, communication science, health communication, political communication and education. The projects focused on a variety of domains in which comprehensibility is crucial, such as communication about personal finance and health. The articles in this special issue provide an overview of some core results.
