Can English, therefore, be considered an Asian language? Drawing upon the Asian Corpus of English, this book will be the first comprehensive account of the roles, uses and features of English in Asia, encompassing several different varieties of Asian English. Chapters cover the distinctive linguistic features of English in different settings, such as in law, religion and popular culture, as well as the use of local rhetorical, pragmatic and cultural styles and its use as a lingua franca among Asian multilinguals. It will also examine the role of English in education - from primary through to higher education - and consider the implications of this for other languages of Asia. 650 0 $a English language $z Asia. 700 1 $a Kirkpatrick, Andy. 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210406021153.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=706474EA7CB711EB8C51190E5AECA4DB 994 $a C0 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
