Abstract:

This volume complements earlier work on English as a lingua franca (ELF) by
providing an in-depth study of the phenomenon from a decidedly European
perspective. Distancing itself from more traditional approaches to the study
of English in Europe (linguistic imperialism and “Euro-English”), the study is
theoretically grounded in more recent approaches, namely the ELF paradigm and
the postmodernist conceptualisation of “English”. Methodologically speaking,
the study analyses language use in Eurovision Song Contest press conferences
as a community of practice of European salience. The ethnographically based
analyses focus on various linguistic levels, thereby producing a comprehensive
picture of European ELF as a discursive formation. Various qualitative and
quantitative methods are used to shed light on the following aspects:
code-choice practices in ELF talk, participants’ metalinguistic comments on
the use of ELF, complimenting behaviour via ELF and relativisation patterns.
On the basis of this data, the concluding section advances discussions
revolving around the conceptualisation of ELF in general, the connection
between ELF and Europeanness, and implications for European language policies.
