Abstract:

English as a global lingua franca interacts with other languages across a wide
range of multilingual contexts. Combining insights from linguistics, education
studies, and psychology, this book addresses the role of English within the
current linguistic dynamics of globalization. It takes Singapore, Hong Kong,
and Dubai as case studies to illustrate the use of English in different
multilingual urban areas, arguing that these are places where competing
historical assessments, and ideological conceptions of monolingualism and
multilingualism, are being acted out most forcefully. It critically appraises
the controversial concept of multilingual advantages, and studies multilingual
cross-linguistic influence in relation to learning English in bilingual
heritage contexts. It also scrutinises multilingual language policies in their
impact on attitudes, identities, and investment into languages. Engaging and
accessible, it is essential reading for academic researchers and advanced
students of bi- and multilingualism, globalization, linguistic diversity,
World Englishes, sociolinguistics, and second/third language acquisition.
 



1. Multilingualism past and present; 2. On advantages and effects of
multilingual development; 3. Cross-linguistic influence; 4. Language
development in multilingual settings; 5. Multilingual language policies,
identities, and attitudes; 6. The new Englishes in their multilingual
ecologies; 7. Patterns and limits of multilingualism.
