Abstract:

Communicating with Asia brings together an international team of leading
researchers to discuss South, South-East, East and Central Asia, and explore
Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi-Urdu, Malay, and Russian as major languages. The
volume locates English inside a number of national, regional or lingua franca
contexts and illustrates the way it develops in such contact situations. Local
dynamics affecting languages in contact and cultural links of languages are
dealt with, such as educational-political issues and tensions between
conflicting norms. In today's global world, where the continent is an
increasing area of focus, it is vital to explore what it means to 'understand'
Asian cultures through English and other languages. This important new study
will be of interest to students and researchers working in the fields of
regional studies, English as a global language, Asian languages and cultural
studies.
