Mario Saraceni's \u003ci\u003eWorld Englishes: A Critical Analysis\u003c\/i\u003e looks at the developments in the field from a critical perspective. It examines the historical, linguistic, ideological and pedagogical aspects in the study of the ever-evolving forms, roles and statuses of English around the world. The principal aim is to offer a critical overview of the field in order both to inform readers about the main issues at stake and to challenge established positions and descriptive\/analytical paradigms. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe book has four sections, each of which reviews established accounts and offers alternative perspectives on those. \"History+? considers representations of the evolution of 'old English' and 'new Englishes' and begins to unveil the strong link between conventional accounts and ideological motivations. \"Language+? critically examines the traditional notion of 'difference' in the description of varieties of English, and discusses more recent orientations which aim to describe English as a lingua franca and the phenomenon of language hybridity. \"Ideology+? examines ideological debates around the presence and status of English in the world, such as linguistic imperialism, language ownership and language ecology. The final section, \"Pedagogy+? discusses pedagogical implications, such as the choice of appropriate 'models' of English and considers the possibility of teaching English as a fully de-anglicised language.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mario Saraceni\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1623562635\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781623562632\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Bloomsbury Publishing PLC\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/23\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.10h x 6.10w x 0.70d","brand":"Mario Saraceni","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44052556644607,"sku":"9781623562632","price":49.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_596ac4fc-bb80-4a01-90ae-4c9b9c425e29.jpg?v=1685019485","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/world-englishes-mario-saraceni-9781623562632","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
