As the country's first foreign minister, he was pivotal in conceptualising and implementing its foreign policy. Present at the birth of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN), he was also instrumental in ensuring a constructive role for Singapore in regional cooperation. A staunch supporter of a multicultural society, Mr Rajaratnam envisioned the country as a cosmopolitan "global city".

The articles in this volume showcase a range of such communities and their practices as loci of language change in the history of English. The notion of communities of practice takes its starting point in the work of Jean Lave and Etienne Wenger and refers to groups of people defined both through their membership in a community and through their shared practices. Three types of communities are particularly highlighted: networks of letter writers; grou 410 0$aPragmatics & beyond new series ;$vv. 235. 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$xHistory 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$xHistory 606 $aLinguistic change$xHistory 606 $aLanguages in contact$xHistory 606 $aEnglish language$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects$xHistory. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation$xHistory. 615 0$aLinguistic change$xHistory. 615 0$aLanguages in contact$xHistory. 615 0$aEnglish language$xHistory. 676 $a420.9 701 $aKopaczyk$b Joanna$01682818 701 $aJucker$b Andreas H$0176829 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910811145803321 996 $aCommunities of practice in the history of English$94053199 997 $aUNINA
