Exploring ELF : Academic English Shaped by Non-native Speakers, Paperback / softback Book

Exploring ELF : Academic English Shaped by Non-native Speakers Paperback / softback

Part of the Cambridge Applied Linguistics series

Paperback / softback

Description

This book explores the emerging area of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in academic settings. The emergence and recognition of English used as a Lingua Franca (ELF) offers new opportunities for investigating language change and language contact.

This volume explores the use of English in an academic context and between speakers from a range of language backgrounds, and is the only book to date to present spoken academic English from a non-native speaker perspective.

Data examined from the one-million-word English as a Lingua Franca in Academic Settings (ELFA) corpus provides an in-depth account of how speakers use and shape the language through dialogue in intellectually and verbally demanding situations. Available separately as a hardback.
