| Abstract
|
:
|
"What roles are English and World Englishes playing in globalization? What effect is globalization having on English and World Englishes? What effect is globalization having on other languages? Anyone interested in exploring these crucial questions will find this book a most helpful and stimulating companion. The editors have assembled an appropriately diverse all-star cost of contributors, each of whom approaches the topic from a refreshingly innovative standpoint. To paraphrase Omoniyi's poem which opens the book, readers will learn to ẁaltz, salsa and lion-dance' (and hip-hop) their way through the complex cultural and linguistic steps of globalization."--Andy Kirkpatrick, Hong Kong Institute of Education --Book Jacket.

This book engages with English in globalization, re-examining and re-interpreting the contemporary contexts of its acquisition and use. The chapters contained in this book weave together four inter-related themes that define the role of English in the global context: the c̀entrality of structure', r̀elationships of interdependence', s̀ocial constructions of difference' and r̀eproduction of inequality'. These themes enable the authors to draw attention to the dynamics of the contemporary realities of the Ènglish-speaking' and Ènglish-using' nations, especially as they compete for cultural, social, economic and symbolic capital in global networks. In engaging World Englishes with the sociolinguistics of globalization, the authors raise some fundamental questions about the status, structure, and functions of World Englishes.
