Cambridge applied linguistics. Exploring ELF

Cartea autorului Anna Mauranen „Cambridge applied linguistics. Exploring ELF" de la editura CAMBRIDGE UNIVERSITY PRESS

Academic English Shaped by Non-native Speakers

 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.
