The Politics of English as a World Language: New Horizons in Postcolonial Cultural Studies: Cross/Cultures / ASNEL Papers, cartea 65/7
Christian Mairen Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 2002
Leading authorities assess the state of the art to suggest directions for further research, with substantial case studies ranging over a wide variety of topics - from the legitimacy of language norms of lingua franca communication to the recognition of newer post-colonial varieties of English in the onlineOED.Four regional sections treat the Caribbean (including the diaspora), Africa, the Indian subcontinent, and Australasia and the Pacific Rim.
Each section maintains a careful balance between linguistics and literature, and external and indigenous perspectives on issues. The book is the most balanced, complete and up-to-date treatment of the topic to date.
