Abstract:

Advocating for best practices within aviation English language
research, this volume offers deeper insights into the practical,
policy-based, and societal contexts in which International Civil
Aviation Organization (ICAO) language standards are embedded.
English is the official language for international pilot-air traffic
controller (ATC) communications, mandated by the ICAO. It is also the
de facto universal common language for all other forms of
communication, including the language of maintenance technicians (and
maintenance manuals), aeronautical engineers, cabin crew, ground
staff, and aviation business professionals. In this book, renowned
academic experts and aviation professionals come together to explore a
variety of research trends, providing an effective and efficient
analysis of the language needs of the aviation industry, its future
directions, and an extended look at linguistic principles in action.
Chapters engage in detail with research data, case studies, and
concrete examples of interactional tasks, transactional exchanges and
radiotelephony. They also examine the common vocabulary and phrasal
patterns in aviation discourse required to communicate successfully in
various roles and contexts within the aviation industry. The result is
a meaningful contribution to the global development and improvement of
standards of aviation research; investigations of the role of language
in aviation accidents; and research into language as a human factor in
aviation communications, customer service, and intercultural
(mis)communication.
