14th Annual Conference of the International Association for World Englishes (IAWE)

1-5 December 2008

Hong Kong

 

International Association for World Englishes (IAWE) is an international scholarly association which aims to establish links among those who are involved with any aspect of World Englishes in research and/or teaching. The association, formally established in May 1992, focuses on global issues relating to three major aspects of World Englishes, language, literature, and pedagogy. It is committed to the study of the forms and functions of varieties of Englishes in diverse cultural and sociolinguistic contexts. It also looks for a more realistic approach and a new framework for looking at English in global contexts and proposes concepts such as appropriateness, intelligibility, comprehensibility, and interpretability as pragmatic factors that determine the uses of English as an international and intra-national language.

 

We invite abstracts for presentation papers (20 minutes + 10 minutes for discussion) on all topics relevant to the study of World Englishes. The organizing committee and IAWE officials will be involved in the abstract selection process. Starting from 1 March until 27 June 2008, interested IAWE members can submit their abstracts through the online submission system.
