Communicating with Asia brings together an international team of
leading researchers to discuss South, South-East, East and Central
Asia, and explore Mandarin, Cantonese, Hindi-Urdu, Malay, and
Russian as major languages. The volume locates English inside a
number of national, regional or lingua franca contexts and
illustrates the way it develops in such contact situations. Local
dynamics affecting languages in contact and cultural links of
languages are dealt with, such as educational-political issues and
tensions between conflicting norms. In today's global world, where
the continent is an increasing area of focus, it is vital to
explore what it means to 'understand' Asian cultures through
English and other languages. This important new study will be of
interest to students and researchers working in the fields of
regional studies, English as a global language, Asian languages and
cultural studies.
