Index

"English as a global lingua franca interacts with other languages across a wide range of multilingual contexts. Combining insights from linguistics, education studies, and psychology, this book addresses the role of English within the current linguistic dynamics of globalization. It takes Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai as case studies to illustrate the use of English in different multilingual urban areas, arguing that these are places where competing historical assessments, and ideological conceptions of monolingualism and multilingualism, are being acted out most forcefully. It critically appraises the controversial concept of multilingual advantages, and studies multilingual cross-linguistic influence in relation to learning English in bilingual heritage contexts. It also scrutinises multilingual language policies in their impact on attitudes, identities, and investment into languages. Engaging and accessible, it is essential reading for academic researchers and advanced students of bi- and multilingualism, globalization, linguistic diversity, World Englishes, sociolinguistics, and second/third language acquisition"-- Provided by publisher. "L’anglais en tant que lingua franca mondiale interagit avec d’autres langues dans un large éventail de contextes multilingues. Combinant des connaissances de la linguistique, des études éducatives et de la psychologie, cet ouvrage aborde le rôle de l’anglais dans la dynamique linguistique actuelle de la mondialisation. Il faut Singapour, Hong Kong et Dubaï comme études de cas pour illustrer l’utilisation de l’anglais dans différentes zones urbaines multilingues, arguant que ce sont des endroits où des évaluations historiques contradictoires, et des conceptions idéologiques du monolinguisme et du multilinguisme, Les États-Unis et le Canada sont les plus touchés. Il évalue de manière critique le concept controversé des avantages multilingues, et étudie l’influence multilingue en relation avec l’apprentissage de l’anglais dans des contextes d’héritage bilingues. Il examine également les politiques linguistiques multilingues dans leur impact sur les attitudes, les identités et les investissements dans les langues. Engageant et accessible, il est essentiel de lire pour les chercheurs universitaires et les étudiants avancés de bi- et multilinguisme, la mondialisation, la diversité linguistique, World Englishes, sociolinguistique, et l’acquisition de langue seconde / troisième.
