Abstract:

This book examines the special nature of English both as a global and a local
language, focusing on some of the ongoing changes and on the emerging new
structural and discoursal characteristics of varieties of English. Although it
is widely recognised that processes of language change and contact bear
affinities, for example, to processes observable in second-language
acquisition and lingua franca use, the research into these fields has so far
not been sufficiently brought into contact with each other. The articles in
this volume set out to combine all these perspectives in ways that give us a
better understanding of the changing nature of English in the modern world.
 



Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics
