Kachru, Braj B.
Braj B. (Behari) Kachru was born in Srinagar, Kashmir, India, in 1932. He died on 29 July 2016 at Urbana, Illinois, USA at the age of 84 years. “Kachru,” by the way, is an Englishization of his name, which is from the Kashmiri word katsur , “brown.” His family are Pandits (from Sanskrit pandit , “learnèd man, scholar”); that is, he was by heritage as well as by inclination a seeker after rational explanations and a willing instructor of willing s…

Varieties of English and Kachru’s Expanding Circle
In this overview article, we present the motivations for compiling this issue of RJL and summarize the major premises of the World Englishes (WE) Paradigm. The focus is on the relations between the WE school of thought and the paradigms that branched from it, i.e. English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) and English as an International Language (EIL). The statuses of Englishes in the Kachruvian Expanding Circle that function mainly as lingua francas in i…

Professor Braj B. Kachru and intelligibility
Professor Braj Kachru instituted the school of world Englishes in his forthright examinations of the bases of the criteria that could reasonably be argued to constitute ‘good English’ and to define ‘an English speaker’. One specific stream of those investigations is that of intelligibility in terms of the features which English users need to take into account when they are making sense of others’ productions and composing their own
Intelligibility after 1979
This article discusses Larry Smith's theoretical and applied approach to the investigation of intelligibility in the teaching of English as a Second Language and in other areas of world Englishes. In particular, Smith's investigation of this topic, which distinguishes between intelligibility, comprehensibility, and interpretability, has provided a framework the analysis of this topic from a range of diverse perspectives in applied linguistics and…
Creativity and ‘expanding noetics’ in world Englishes
The title of Professor Yamuna Kachru's paper, ‘Culture, Style, and Discourse: Expanding Noetics of English’ (1992a) immediately raises an intriguing aspect of the spread and functions of world Englishes. The code, with all its potential variations in forms, may well serve as a window into and a means of approaching the ‘cultures, styles, and discourses’ of groups and people who are outside our own first‐hand and comfortable experiences. Excerpts …

Intelligibility in World Englishes
Intelligibility comes into English ultimately from the Latin verb intellegere , “to perceive.”

Intelligibility since 1969
Smith's general intelligibility paradigm has contributed immensely to furthering the cogent analyses of world Englishes. Earlier works such as Bansal's study of The Intelligibility of Indian English (1969) treated only pronunciation, and regularly invoked comparisons with RP. After Smith elucidated the notion "intelligibility" by introducing the conceptual layers intelligibility, comprehensibility and interpretability, examinations of the forms a…

Intelligibility and world Englishes in the classroom
Notions of 'the Good' in English-language usage are informed by teachers' experience and by authoritative sources such as rhetoric handbooks and reference grammars. In recent decades, new ways of evaluating language interpretation and use have been explored and tested; such recent conceptions of what it means to be intelligible may be seen as 'better' in that they accord more closely with the observable data and situations around us. In particula…
Bilingual writing for the monolingual reader
New Englishes, new discourses
The pragmatic dimension of creativity in the other tongue
Authors of literature in new Englishes reach out to a multi-national audience through the conscious choice of English as their medium of presentation. New-English authors exhibit a range of nativization in their English. They present new elements and structures within a matrix of internationally 'standard' English, allowing the reader to accept the presentation in a more or less readable way. Texts may be seen as possessing the qualities of intel…
International intelligibility of English
This is a summary of the state-of-the-art research in international intelligibility with emphasis on English. It also suggests some directions for future research. It is argued that in future research it would be desirable to make distinctions between three key concepts: intelligibility, comprehensibility and interpretability. The selected bibliography of 163 items has been assembled to give the reader an indication of how widespread this literat…
My language, your culture
The paper examines the notion of 'communicative competence' specifically with reference to transplanted varieties of English (e.g. Indian English) used in various non-Western sociocultural contexts in the world. It is claimed that the notion of communicative competence that relies on the traditional notion of 'competence' of a native speaker is misleading for understanding and interpreting English texts written in these contexts by, for example, …
