Abstract:

This volume investigates the changes undergone by written communication in our
globalized world as English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). The latter usually
functions as a language for communication purposes, but also becomes a
language for identification purposes. The study takes into account different
web-genres: from the replication of existing genres in other media to
cybergenres, whose key evolutionary force is the progressive exploitation of
the new functionalities afforded by the new medium. The variety of the
contexts of use has made it possible to consider different ELF-using
communities of practice, whose members adopt ELF and adapt it to express
individual, national and professional identities in international
interactions. The analysis focuses on lexicogrammatical innovations, which
inevitably change in accordance with the different contexts of use, as well as
on the communicative strategies underpinning these changes.
