Abstract:

This book investigates formal characteristics and discourse functions of
linguistic creativity at the level of idioms in spoken ELF as represented in
the Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English (VOICE). Building on the
findings of previous ELF research, the book proposes that creativity might
serve as a fundamental concept in accounting for the variation that seems to
be central to describing and understanding English as a lingua franca.
 



Linguistic Field(s): Discourse Analysis
