Another arrow for the quiver: A new methodology for multilingual researchers
This paper reports on a promising methodology for multilingualism studies that was trialled at the National Institute of Education (NIE) on the campus of Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore, in 2018. The methodology named the Aural-Oral Transect (AOT) is a systematic, easy-to-implement, unbiased way of collecting quantitative data on spoken language use in multilingual settings, and the data arising from its application provides a s…

Setting the Record Straight: An In-depth Examination of Hobson-Jobson
Yule and Burnell’s famous Anglo-Indian glossary Hobson-Jobson was first published in 1886 and thence updated by William Crooke in 1903. It is still widely available today, and despite the fact that its contents are over a century out of date, it is still used as a reference work for Indian English. Since its publication it has generally received positive reviews and very little in the way of critical comment or analysis of the text. Moreover, the…
A multitude of “lishes”: The nomenclature of hybridity
The present paper deals with portmanteau terms based on the word English , the bulk of which form a varied and extensive nomenclature used to describe hybrids of the English language with other languages. A citation database of over 3,500 entries was created containing 510 separate terms dating from the early 20th century to mid-2016. These figures indicate a widespread interest in the ways in which English hybridises with other languages and bec…

Ornithonymy and Lexicographical Selection Criteria
Due to the great variety of life on Earth and the human propensity to give names to practically all other lifeforms, the recording of names for items of flora and fauna presents an ever-present challenge to lexicographers. Despite this, there is very little discussion of this subject in the metalexicographical literature. This paper examines this topic through assessing the recording of ornithonyms (names for bird species) in seven dictionaries o…
Diachronic stability in Indian English lexis
In the late 1930s two British commentators, A.F. Kindersley and R.C. Goffin, published articles on various linguistic features (semantic, grammatical, orthographical, and phonological) of the English language as used in India. These two glossaries offer a valuable insight into late-Raj Indian English. In order to assess the extent of change over the intervening 70-plus years, a comparison of the content of those glossaries to present-day Indian E…

Beyond Hobson Jobson: Towards a new lexicography for Indian English
Indian English is one of the most important and widely-spoken varieties of English, and yet at present the pinnacle of lexicographical treatment of the variety remains the well-renowned and much feted Hobson Jobson , originally published in 1886, with a second edition in 1903. British English has the Oxford , American English the Webster’s , Australian English the Macquarie , but Indian English must do with a dictionary over a century out of date…
