Abstract:

Asia is now home to some 800 million multilingual speakers of English,
more than the total number of native English speakers, and how they
use English is continuously evolving and changing to reflect their
cultural backgrounds and everyday experiences. Can English, therefore,
be considered an Asian language? Drawing upon the Asian Corpus of
English, this book will be the first comprehensive account of the
roles, uses and features of English in Asia, encompassing several
different varieties of Asian English. Chapters cover the distinctive
linguistic features of English in different settings, such as in law,
religion and popular culture, as well as the use of local rhetorical,
pragmatic and cultural styles and its use as a lingua franca among
Asian multilinguals. It will also examine the role of English in
education - from primary through to higher education - and consider
the implications of this for other languages of Asia.
