English in the Netherlands : Functions, Forms and Attitudes Hardback
by Alison Edwards
Part of the Varieties of English Around the World series
Hardback
Description
This volume provides the first comprehensive investigation of the Netherlands in the World Englishes paradigm.
It explores the history of English contact, the present spread of English and attitudes towards English in the Netherlands.
It describes the development and analysis of the Corpus of Dutch English, the first Expanding Circle corpus based on the design of the International Corpus of English.
In addition, it investigates the applicability of Schneider's (2003, 2007) Dynamic Model, concluding that this and other such models need to move away from a colonisation-driven approach and towards a globalisation-driven one to explain the continued spread and evolution of English today.
The volume will be highly relevant to researchers interested in the status and use of English in the Netherlands.
More broadly, it provides a timely contribution to the debate on the relevance of the World Englishes framework for non-native, non-postcolonial settings such as Continental Europe.
