People in the Nordic states – Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark,
and Iceland – rank as among the most proficient speakers of
English in the world. In this unique volume, international experts
explore how this came to be, what English usage and integration
looks like in different spheres of society and the economy in these
countries, and the implications of this linguistic phenomenon for
language attitudes and identity, for the region at large, and for
English in Europe and around the world. Led by Elizabeth Peterson
and Kristy Beers Fagersten, contributors provide a historical
overview to the subject, synthesize the latest research, illustrate
the roles of English with original case studies from diverse
communities and everyday settings, and offer transnational insights
critically and in conversation with the situation in other Nordic
states. This comprehensive text is the first book of its kind and
will be of interest to advanced students and researchers of
World/Global Englishes & English as a lingua franca, language
contact & dialect studies/language varieties, language policy,
multilingualism, sociolinguistics, and Nordic/Scandinavian &
European studies.
