Worldwide Perspectives on English Usage
The study of English usage has to take account of changes in grammar, word choice and nuances of communication. In recent decades, developments in linguistic methodologies have catalysed modifications In our approach to linguistic variation, with perspectives changing from a primarily prescriptive to a more descriptive approach. Bringing together contributions from a team of distinguished scholars, this book explores sociolinguistic and structura…
Lexical Influence of Migrant Languages on English in Australia
Australia’s continuous growth in migration has enriched the linguistic diversity of our society. How our linguistic ecology has shifted relative to the presence of migrant languages is an important phenomenon to capture. Using publicly available data published by Coles magazine across nine years from 2014 to 2022, this chapter investigates the kinds of lexical items present and their influence on English in Australia, particularly in the food dom…
The impact of L1 speaking style, task mode, and L2 proficiency on L2 fluency
Fluency is an essential aspect of second language (L2) oral proficiency. Recent studies have demonstrated that L1 individual speaking style is connected to L2 fluency, suggesting that L2 speech fluency does not solely represent L2-specific skills. Furthermore, task mode (monologue vs. dialogue) has been shown to influence fluency. The present study examines the extent to which these two factors (L1 speaking style and task mode) can predict L2 spe…
The existential there construction in spoken South Asian Englishes
The study of South Asian Englishes has long focused on the largest and oldest local English as a second language variety, Indian English (IndE). Methodologically, research on South Asian Englishes has predominantly relied on descriptive statistics and monofactorial analyses while multifactorial analyses – although statistically superior – have remained rare. Against this background, the present article compares the use of the existential there co…
Epicentral influences of Indian English on Nepali English
The present paper investigates India's potential role as a linguistic epicentre for Nepal by conducting a short‐term diachronic follow‐up study of Bernaisch and Lange (2012) that is based on the South Asian Varieties of English corpus. Based on the recently updated version of the corpus with similar data from a decade later, a potential spread of the presentational itself construction with an adverbial focus, which has allegedly spread in Nepal o…
Fluency versus accuracy in advanced spoken learner language
In this paper we present a possible multi-method approach towards the description of a potential correlation between errors and temporal variables of (dys-)fluency in spoken learner language. Using the German subcorpus of the Louvain International Database of Spoken English Interlanguage (LINDSEI) and the native control corpus Louvain Corpus of Native English Conversation (LOCNEC), we first analysed errors and temporal variables of fluency quanti…
