This book reflects on the future of the English language as used by
native speakers, speakers of nativized New Englishes, and users of
English as a lingua franca (ELF). The volume begins by outlining
the current position of English in the world and accounts for the
differences among native and nativized varieties and ELF usages. It
offers a historical perspective on the impact of language contact
on English and discusses whether the lexicogrammatical features of
New Englishes and ELF are shaped by imperfect learning or
deliberate language change. The book also considers the
consequences of writing in a second language and questions the
extent to which non-native English-speaking academics and
researchers should be required to conform to 'Anglo' patterns of
text organization and 'English Academic Discourse.' The book then
examines the converse effect of English on other languages through
bilingualism and translation. This volume is essential reading for
students and scholars in English language, sociolinguistics,
language acquisition, and language policy.
