This book explores the emerging area of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) in academic settings. The emergence and recognition of English used as a Lingua Franca (ELF) offers new opportunities for investigating language change and language contact. This volume explores the use of English in an academic context and between speakers from a range of language backgrounds, and is the only book to date to present spoken academic English from a non-native speaker perspective. Data examined from the one-million-word English as a Lingua Franca in Academic Settings (ELFA) corpus provides an in-depth account of how speakers use and shape the language through dialogue in intellectually and verbally demanding situations. The emergence and recognition of English used as a Lingua Franca (ELF) offers new opportunities for investigating language change and language contact. This timely volume explores the use of English in an academic context and between speakers from a range of language backgrounds. Data examined from the one-million-word English as a Lingua Franca in Academic Settings (ELFA) corpus provides an in-depth account of how speakers use and shape the language through dialogue in intellectually and verbally demanding situations. Social and cognitive perspectives are offered on the form and function of the language as used in situ, including its phraseology and lexis, the negotiation of topics, and the co-construction of comprehension. Finally, the book discusses the implications of ELF for the language professions and suggests a way ahead for the future of ELF teaching and research. Exploring ELF is essential reading for practitioners and researchers involved in ELF and EAP.

In applied linguistics, being explicit about ontologies of English, and how they underpin educational ideologies and professional practices, is essential. For the first time, this volume presents a critical examination of the ways in which English is conceptualised for learning, teaching, and assessment, from both social and cognitive perspectives. Written by a team of leading scholars, it considers the language in a range of contexts and domains, including: models and targets for EFL, ESL and EAL teaching and testing, and the contested dominance of native-speaker 'standard' varieties; English as a school subject, using England's educational system as an example; English as a lingua franca, where typically several languages and cultures are in contact; and English as broader social practice in a world characterised by unprecedented mobility and destabilisation. Readers are provided with a balanced set of perspectives on ontologies of English and a valuable resource for educational research and practice.

In diesem Band sollen Annaeherungen an das Phaenomen der deutschen Jugendsprache aus unterschiedlicher Sichtweise vorgenommen werden. Ein solcher multiperspektivischer Ansatz erscheint geeignet, der Vielschichtigkeit und Sperrigkeit des sich einer monosemischen Definition widersetzenden Forschungsgegenstandes hinreichend gerecht zu werden. Jedes der elf Kapitel ist dabei einer linguistischen Teildisziplin verpflichtet, darunter Grammatik, Soziolinguistik, Textlinguistik, Kulturwissenschaft, Sprachkontaktforschung, Sprachwandelforschung und Sprachkritik. Die Frage, ob die Jugendsprache die Subs
