Abstract:

Editor's note: This is a new version of a previously announced title.

This fascinating book offers a comprehensive exploration of Russian English as
a World English variety. The authors introduce readers to the history of
language contact between Russian and English, which has resulted in the
Russianization of English and Englishization of Russian. They also discuss the
functions of English as a lingua franca in the domains of politics, business
and tourism, as a tool in youth subcultures, education and scholarship, and as
a creative means in mass media, advertisement, music and literature. The book
engages with the major role of English in expressing a speaker's cultural and
personal identity within the global community. This accessible and engaging
work presents a great number of concepts within the field of Russian
linguistics, as well as introducing readers to the outstanding Russian
scholars in the field. Essential reading for students and researchers across a
wide range of related fields.
