Abstract:

In a world where an increasing amount of communication takes place in English
among non-native speakers, this study presents data from email exchanges to
provide the first examination of sociolinguistic competence and the
acquisition of native-like variability in an English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)
context. The analysis of a range of linguistic variables (future tense,
relative pronoun choice, complementizer use and adverbial placement) in the
online interactions of Swiss speakers (with German, French and Italian mother
tongues) allows the reader to gain a greater understanding of which linguistic
features are source language-related and which are learning-related. This book
will be a valuable resource for postgraduates and researchers interested in
language variation and change, ELF and second language acquisition, as well as
for undergraduates wanting guidance on different ways of examining
sociolinguistic variables.

The LINGUIST List is under the umbrella of Eastern Michigan University and as such can receive donations through the EMU Foundation, which is a registered 501(c) Non Profit organization. Our Federal Tax number is 38-6005986. These donations can be offset against your federal and sometimes your state tax return (U.S. tax payers only).

Many companies also offer a gift matching program, such that they will match any gift you make to a non-profit organization. Normally this entails your contacting your human resources department and sending us a form that the EMU Foundation fills in and returns to your employer. This is generally a simple administrative procedure that doubles the value of your gift to LINGUIST, without costing you an extra penny. Please take a moment to check if your company operates such a program.
