Global Research Trend of Sustainable Transport in Response to Energy Efficiency
Numerous studies have been conducted on sustainable transportation and its impact on global energy efficiency. However, the evolution and performance patterns of this field remain relatively unknown and limited. A bibliometric analysis was conducted to explore the global research trends to determine the state-of-the-art sustainable transport linked to energy efficiency over the past 21 years. The Web of Science (WoS) database was searched to expl…
Cyber–Information Security Compliance and Violation Behaviour in Organisations
Cyber and information security (CIS) is an issue of national and international interest. Despite sophisticated security systems and extensive physical countermeasures to combat cyber-attacks, organisations are vulnerable due to the involvement of the human factor. Humans are regarded as the weakest link in cybersecurity systems as development in digital technology advances. The area of cybersecurity is an extension of the previously studied field…

The Impact of Institutional Pressures of Climate Change Concerns on Corporate Environmental Reporting Practices
Malaysian companies have dramatically increased their corporate environmental reporting (CER) practices in response to institutional pressures related to concerns about climate change. Based on a content analysis of annual reports, sustainability reports, and websites of 209 Malaysian environmentally sensitive public listed companies (ESPLCs), we describe CER practices with respect to various environmental strategies implemented by companies over…
Speaking English and the Malay Community
This research, situated in Malaysia, uses the first-person narratives of Malay learners to explore adult second language learning beyond the classroom as a process of identity negotiation, and a struggle for participation, acceptance and legitimacy in multiple communities. Set within a constructivist framework, it examines how ethnic, religious and cultural affiliations can structure access to linguistic and interactional opportunities, and how t…
Malays Are Expected To Speak Malay”
This article seeks to explore adult second language learning beyond the classroom as a process of identity negotiation, and a struggle for participation, acceptance, and legitimacy in multiple communities to which learners belong or aspire to belong. Drawing on constructivism to conceptualize language learning and notions of identity, the study examines the first-person narratives of Malay learners of English in Malaysia gleaned from journals and…

Out-group Phonological Markers and the Negotiation of Identity
This paper reports on an initial examination of the use of out-group linguistic forms by speakers in a multilingual speech community in Malaysia. It employs the poststructuralist model of identity, and within codeswitching research, considers the notions of contextualisation cues, accommodation and the practice of crossing as a conceptual framework and explanatory apparatus for the variation encountered. To obtain the significance of the linguist…
Sociolinguistic perspectives on variation in non-native varieties of English
This paper examines L2 variation by exploring the ways in which the English language is used in everyday communication in Malaysia. It begins with a review of how L2 variation has generally been treated and questions the imbalances perceived to underpin fundamental theoretical notions. Rejecting the traditional analysis of the language of L2 users in terms of transfer and interlanguage models in favour of the more robust communication accommodati…
Intelligibility studies
This paper critically examines key issues underpinning past research on the intelligibility of L2 speech. While acknowledging the substantial contribution made by intelligibility studies to our understanding of L2 speech and how it is received and perceived, a close reading of the research in this area gives rise to grave misgivings. In particular, there has been a tendency to treat intelligibility with no serious consideration of the context of …
The faces and facets of English in Malaysia
A discussion of both the selection and significance of sub-varieties of English in Malaysia. Malaysia is a multi-racial country, with a diversity of languages that includes Bahasa Malaysia (the national language), English (introduced during the colonial period from the late-eighteenth to mid-twentieth centuries), and a number of Chinese dialects, Indian languages, and other minority languages. Despite this complex linguistic tapestry, English con…
