Abstract:

At a time when globalization and the advent of the internet have accelerated
the spread and diversification of English varieties worldwide, this book
provides a constructive assessment of the theoretical models that best account
for the development and use of Englishes in the early 21st century. In this
endeavor, the present book brings together cutting-edge contributions by
leading scholars who explore the notion of linguistic globalization based on a
wide range of ESLs, EFLs and ELF, synchronic and diachronic data, different
methodological approaches (corpus-based, sociolinguistic, ethnographic), and a
variety of data resources (social media, multiplayer online games,
journalistic data, GloWbE, Corpus of Historical Singapore English, thematic
blogs). Collectively, these studies serve as a springboard for future research
on the globalization of Englishes and they contribute to a timely and
necessary scholarly conversation on what constitutes adequate theoretical
models of World Englishes in the 21st century.
