Autumn special issue: English in Central Europe

With its international prominence in today’s world, English is in contact (to
greater or lesser degrees) with most languages and societies around the globe,
with the results of that contact varying from location to location, depending
on both the linguistic and the socio-cultural factors of the particular local
context. This special issue of ELOPE to be published in December 2022 focuses
on the presence of English specifically in Central Europe and its interaction
with the languages and societies of the region.

Central Europe may be a concept that is difficult to pin down geographically
and politically, since it is in some cases defined by historical roots
(despite differences in 20th-century social and political developments), while
other conceptualizations build specifically on more recent commonalities of
experience (in the last 50-100 years). At the same time the concept remains in
use precisely because it is a useful one, in that it captures an area with
some common socio-cultural traditions that in many ways create a recognizable
milieu and a feeling of familiarity. This can extend to the manner in which
English is received and welcomed, as a means not only of communication but
also of participation in the global culture.

For this special issue of ELOPE on *English in Central Europe*, we invite
research that examines all aspects of English language use in Central European
contexts across all fields of linguistic investigation (historical,
sociolinguistic, structural, acquisitional, etc.) including, but not limited
to, the following areas:
- variation and change in linguistic structures of local language(s) induced
by contact with English
- contact varieties of English developed through contact with local
language(s)
- history of English language use in local context(s)
- English in competition with local language(s) across societal domains of use
- societal reception of the use of English in local context(s)
- English as a lingua franca in Central European context(s)
- acquisition of English and acquired societal bilingualism
- and many more areas
