Abstract:

>From K-pop to kimchi, Korean culture is becoming increasingly popular on the
world stage. This cultural internationalisation is also mirrored
linguistically, in the emergence and development of Korean English. Often
referred to as 'Konglish', this book describes how the two terms in fact refer
to different things and explains how Koreans have made the English language
their own.

Arguing that languages are no longer codified and legitimised by dictionaries
and textbooks but by everyday usage and media, Alex Baratta explores how to
reconceptualise the idea of 'codification.' Providing illustrative examples of
how Koreans have taken commonly used English expressions and adjusted them,
such as doing 'Dutch pay', wearing a 'Burberry' and using 'hand phones', this
book explores the implications and opportunities social codification presents
to EFL students and teachers. In so doing, "The Societal Codification of
Korean English" offers wider perspectives on English change across the world,
seeking to dispel the myth that English only belongs to 'native speakers'.
