Abstract:
English is a language at the centre of research into language contact, because
its global spread has resulted in contact with an enormous variety of
different languages worldwide, leading to the creation of many new varieties
of English, including second language varieties, and also pidgins and creoles.
This book takes an original look at what happens when speakers of these
different varieties interact with one another. Using her own rich fieldwork
data from diverse international and South African contexts, Meierkord proposes
an innovative approach to how Englishes merge and blend in such interactions,
creating further new forms of English and further changes to the language.
Through skilful analyses and descriptions, the book provides fascinating
insights into where and who the users of English as a lingua franca are and
what English then looks like at the levels of phonetics, morphosyntax, the
lexicon and discourse.
