Abstract:

The spread of English as the international lingua franca (ELF), like other 
aspects of globalization, calls for a reconsideration of conventional ways of 
thinking. This book argues that ELF needs to be understood as an entirely 
natural use of language in its own right and not as an erroneous version of 
native speaker English, and demonstrates how the 'nonconformist' formal 
features of ELF are functionally motivated by the dynamics of communicative 
interaction.
