Distancing itself from more traditional approaches to the study of English in Europe (linguistic imperialism and "Euro-English"), the study is theoretically grounded in more recent approaches, namely the ELF paradigm and the postmodernist conceptualisation of "English". Methodologically speaking, the study analyses language use in Eurovision Song Contest press conferences as a community of practice of European salience. The ethnographically based analyses focus on various linguistic levels, thereby producing a comprehensive picture of European ELF as a discursive formation. Various qualitative and quantitative methods are used to shed light on the following aspects: code-choice practices in ELF talk, participants' metalinguistic comments on the use of ELF, complimenting behaviour via ELF and relativisation patterns. On the basis of this data, the concluding section advances discussions revolving around the conceptualisation of ELF in general, the connection between ELF and Europeanness, and implications for European language policies. 606 $aEnglish language$xInfluence on foreign languages 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching$zEurope 606 $aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching 606 $aEnglish language$zEurope 606 $aLanguages in contact 606 $aLingua francas$zEurope 615 0$aEnglish language$xInfluence on foreign languages. 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching 615 0$aEnglish language$xStudy and teaching. 615 0$aEnglish language 615 0$aLanguages in contact. 615 0$aLingua francas 676 $a428.0071 700 $aMotschenbacher$b Heiko$0956966 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910961465803321 996 $aNew perspectives on English as a European lingua franca$94344391 997 $aUNINA
