Abstract:

ELF (English as a lingua franca) research counters the monocentric view of
English based on norms of native speakers of English, and supports any usages
reflecting sociopragmatic and pragmalinguistic reality of ELF communication.
Such an approach empowers any speakers of English to contemplate their own
varieties of English as legitimate, providing them greater options for
positive self-identification. Based on qualitative and interpretive
methodology, this book illustrates how Japanese L2 English users establish
identities related to L2 English as part of their multiple identities, and how
they explore new identity options through ELF. Moreover, the author
demonstrates how power relations relating to English language are constructed
through the participants’ experiences in ELF interactions. Also, analysis of
the data reveals that to what degree the Japanese L2 English users wish to
affiliate with particular groups in ELF interactions with people from diverse
cultural background. 

Because of the multidisciplinary nature of the study, this book will appeal to
a broad audience such as scholars and students who are interested in further
understanding of identity and sociocultural issues involved in intercultural
communication.
