English(es) as a social practice

English is perhaps the most widely-spoken, widely-taught and widely-researched
language in the world. For these reasons, research centred on (varieties of)
English has been fundamental to the development of sociolinguistics and
related disciplines, as with many branches of linguistics and language
sciences. From insight into the social stratification of linguistic variables
(Labov), to understanding of the way in which language intertwines with social
communities and identity (Eckert), via explorations as to how context is
embedded in language (Gumperz), studies focusing on English have played a key
role in shaping the questions, methods and concepts of sociolinguistics and
other disciplines that adopt a social approach to researching language.

This dynamic shows no signs of abating and recent research has continued this
exploration of English as a social practice, shedding light on the reciprocal
influence between English and matters relating to gender (Eckert and
McConnell-Ginet), sexuality (Ehrlich et al.), political resistance (Reisigl
and Wodak), race (Makoni et al.), climate change (Flottum) and all nature of
social, sanitary and/or economic crises (Piller et al.), to name but a few key
areas of interest. In sum, English – whether as a first language, as a lingua
franca (Mauranen and Ranta) or within multi- or plurilingual practices
(Forlot) – is deeply intertwined with extremely diverse sociolinguistic
configurations. Linguistically speaking, these different social contexts
contribute profoundly to shaping all aspects of the genesis, evolution and
variation of English (Glain). Seen from another angle, these same English(es)
constitute social, cultural, ideological, identity, political, or sometimes
even economic, resources (e.g. Heller; Eckert; Trudgill), deployed by speakers
in any number of social contexts, to any number of social ends.

This special issue aims to draw inspiration from this continuously growing
body of research, inviting contributions that view English as a set of
pratiques langagières (Boutet), that is, as a collection of social practices
in their own right. Such an approach – dealing with English as both influenced
by, and constitutive of, social context – would seem particularly relevant in
the current climate of rapid, unpredictable and intense social change. With
this in mind, we especially welcome contributions that deal with one (or more)
of the following themes:

- New social contexts, new English(es)
- English(es) as a language of resistance
- English(es) in the globalising linguistic marketplace

These themes are not to be taken as an exhaustive list of possible approaches
or questions; any and all contributions that relate to (varieties of) English
as a social practice will be taken into consideration.
