Final Reflections: Globalization and World Englishes --$tIndex 330 $aThis book engages with English in globalization, re-examining and re-interpreting the contemporary contexts of its acquisition and use. The chapters contained in this book weave together four inter-related themes that define the role of English in the global context: the ?centrality of structure?, ?relationships of interdependence?, ?social constructions of difference? and ?reproduction of inequality?. These themes enable the authors to draw attention to the dynamics of the contemporary realities of the ?English-speaking? and ?English-using? nations, especially as they compete for cultural, social, economic and symbolic capital in global networks. In engaging World Englishes with the sociolinguistics of globalization, the authors raise some fundamental questions about the status, structure, and functions of World Englishes. 410 0$aCritical language and literacy studies. 606 $aEnglish language$xGlobalization 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zEnglish-speaking countries 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zForeign countries 606 $aIntercultural communication 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xGlobalization. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aIntercultural communication. 676 $a427 701 $aSaxena$b Mukul$f1956-$01054720 701 $aOmoniyi$b Tope$0924113 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910458434203321 996 $aContending with globalization in world Englishes$92487586 997 $aUNINA
