Language regulation has often been approached from a top-down
policy perspective, whereas this book examines regulatory practices
employed by speakers in interaction. With its ethnographically
informed focus on language regulation in academic English as a
lingua franca (ELF), the book is a timely contribution to debates
about what counts as acceptable English in ELF contexts, who can
act as language expert, and when regulation is needed.
This edited book examines language perceptions and practices in
multilingual university contexts in the aftermath of recent
theoretical developments questioning the conceptualization of
language as a static entity, drawing on case studies from different
Northern European contexts in order to explore the effects of
phenomena including internationalization, widening participation,
and migration patterns on language attitudes and ideologies. The
book provides cutting-edge perspectives on language uses in
Northern European universities by drawing attention to the
multiplicity of language practices alongside the prominence of
English in international study programmes and research publication.
It will be of interest to students and scholars of multilingualism,
sociolinguistics, applied linguistics, and education, as well as
language policymakers. bfiqo
