Abstract:

This book encapsulates the various discourses that try to theorise the
evolution of English as a global language from the perspectives of history,
geography and individual proficiency. It discusses the status of English in
post-colonial India, where it has coexisted with native languages in a
multilingual scenario for almost three hundred years and has developed into a
form with its own distinct lexical, phonological, morpho-syntactical and
discourse features. This indigenized form of English has come to be recognized
as Indian English. While many linguists argue that Indian English is a
distinct variety with its own standardized form, others do not quite agree.
While the advocates of Standard Indian English have argued in favour of
recognition of Standard Indian English in Indian pedagogy, others regard
Indian English as suitable only for informal usage. Through a survey conducted
among those who are closely related to the English language in India, this
book examines the acceptability of Standard Indian English usage, and, using
an attitudinal survey, gauges their opinion vis-à-vis the idea of forming a
pedagogical model for teaching English in the Indian context.
