Abstract:
Questions of how to access and analyze the use of English as a global
language are central to the study of the continuing spread of English as a
vehicle of cross-cultural communication. The present book explores the
relationship between the functions and forms of English as a Lingua Franca,
and introduces the concept of Lingua Franca English to deal with the
systematic differences between national native varieties of English and the
non-native varieties which have developed relatively recently. The
investigation of the sociolinguistic and linguistic processes involved in
the development of Lingua Franca English focuses on Switzerland, and is
carried out by means of a detailed comparative linguistic analysis of a
large amount of data obtained from written and spoken English produced by
Swiss speakers. The result is a detailed and critical description of
current issues affecting the study of English as an international language,
and a thorough investigation of the ongoing processes resulting from the
interaction of Swiss people with different language backgrounds in shaping
the nature of the English spoken in Switzerland. By examining the
characteristics of English as it is used in Switzerland, light is shed on
the diachronic problem of the focusing mechanisms involved in the growth of
non-native varieties of English and processes of second language
acquisition generally.
