Abstract:

World Englishes coexist and interact with local languages in
multilingual ecologies. Multilingual speakers use the languages in
their ecologies for different functions, with different interlocutors,
and at different proficiency levels. Attitudinal responses to the
languages vary. Speaker groups are heterogenous manifesting only
partial overlap regarding language repertoires, use, proficiencies,
and attitudes. The languages in multilingual ecologies may shift in
status over time. Some languages may be lost while new languages
appear. Strong regional languages and English typically persist. The
volume explores multilingual ecologies around the globe and the
position of English within them. Case studies are drawn from Africa,
East, South, and Southeast Asia, the Middle East, and Europe, all
written by distinguished scholars in the field who consider both
standardized and non-standardized forms of English. The volume argues
for a more inclusive study of World Englishes incorporating speakers’
social backgrounds as well as the other languages in their
repertoires.

Written In: English (eng)
