Cultural Linguistics and World Englishes
Այս էլ․ գրքի մասին
The field of World Englishes has long focused on the sociolinguistic and applied linguistic study of varieties of English. Cultural Linguistics is now opening a new venue for research on World Englishes by exploring cultural conceptualisations underlying different varieties of English.
The book explores ways in which the analytical framework of Cultural Linguistics may be employed to study varieties of English around the globe.
