Abstract:

At a time when the paradigm gap (Sridhar & Sridhar 1986) between the EFL and
ESL research areas is attracting much scholarly attention, the contributions
in the current volume explore this gap from the perspective of linguistic
innovations across the two different types of non-native Englishes. In this
endeavour, this volume unveils the many facets of linguistic innovations in
non-native English varieties and explores the fine line between learners’
erroneous versus creative use of a target language. Adopting empirical,
corpus-based approaches to portray linguistic innovations characteristic of
EFL and ESL varieties, the contributions show how the interaction of
linguistic and social forces influences the development of novel linguistic
forms in both endonormative ESL contexts and exonormative EFL contexts. This
volume is of relevance to linguists who are interested in the features of
non-native English and who wish to gain a better understanding of the nature
of innovations along the EFL – ESL continuum.Originally published as a special
issue of <i>International Journal of Learner Corpora Research</i> 2:2 (2016).
