Abstract:
The recent multilingual turn involves various different implicit and explicit
language policies, urging pressure and resistance with regard to the spread of
English and its dominant relationships with other national languages. As such,
this book considers the social value of communication as the basis of
multilingualism and of the evolution of language systems.
The data presented here show English as being in the middle of the double
“listening” of cultural mediation and the imperfect “magnifying” glass of
translation, with worldwide Standard English being but one of the many other
related varieties which enjoy prestige on a large scale. These varieties may
be identified according to different features which make the plural “world
Englishes” an umbrella term with blurred edges.
New approaches to dialects study have been developed in recent decades, and
cartographic mapping has overlapped with the emergence of a new dialectology
which deals with the description of language phenomena as complex concepts,
where “complexity” provides a challenging framework for investigation and
research of languages as dynamic systems made up of variables which mutually
influence each other. Thus, dialectometry, dialectology and standardization
become interesting tools for measuring linguistic differences, establishing
language typologies and endorsing the systemic characteristics which can be
formalized.
Comprehensive and well-informed, this volume will appeal to anyone interested
in the spread of English, from researchers and teachers to students, providing
them with a greater understanding of some examples of world Englishes analysed
under the light of complexity as a product of global society.
