This book details innovative developments in the pragmatics and
lexicogrammar of speakers using English as a lingua franca. There
have been considerable recent demographic shifts in the use of
English worldwide. English is now undoubtedly(and particularly) an
international lingua franca, a lingua mundi. The sociolinguistic
reality of English language use worldwide, and its implications,
continue to be hotly contested. Plenty of research has questioned,
for example, the ownership of English, but less attention has been
paid to the linguistic consequences of the escalating role English
plays. This is one of the first books to provide a detailed and
comprehensive account of recent empirical findings in the field of
English as a lingua franca (ELF). Dewey and Cogo analyze and
interpret their own large corpus of naturally occurring spoken
interactions and focus on identifying innovative developments in
the pragmatics and lexicogrammar of speakers engaged in ELF talk.
Dewey and Cogo's work makes a substantial contribution to the
emerging field of empirical ELF studies. As well as this practical
focus, this book looks at both pragmatic and lexicogrammatical
issues and highlights their interrelationship. In showcasing the
underlying processes involved in the emergence of innovative
patterns of language use, this book will be of great interest to
advanced students and academics working in applied linguistics,
ELF, sociolinguistics, and corpus linguistics.
