Alfred Raquez Over Java
The work of fin-de-siècle fugitive writer and explorer Alfred Raquez has long been neglected, though a resurgence in interest is underway. While his book-length works are undergoing scholarly translation, his journalism remains largely unexplored. Yet within that corpus, there are instances of travel writing that merit examination. Raquez spent a month in Java in 1898. This article presents his writings on Java translated into English as well as …

Language rights in historical and contemporary perspective
This paper presents a reconceptualisation of language rights, drawing on historical sources and contemporary practice. It shows that early advocates of rights saw these as limits on the state's ability to deprive citizens of basic liberties. Only later did the concept come to include the requirement that the state be proactive in providing selected groups with specific assistance, including in areas such as language use and language education. Th…
Language Education, Economic Development and Participation in the Greater Mekong Subregion
The Mekong has long attracted interest although it remains economically insignificant. A group of riparian states known as the Greater Mekong Subregion (GMS) – Cambodia, Laos, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam and Yunnan Province (China) – now manage aspects of regional development including trade, water management and education. Standard GMS discourse holds that English should be the lingua franca of the region and promotes the language widely through …
Restandardizing localized Englishes: Aspirations and Limitations
Languages in contact inevitably undergo cross-fertilization. English is no exception in that wherever it takes roots, a tension develops between a traditionally exonormative standard and the incorporation of local adaptations into the standard. Some sociopolitical motivations for restandardizing new varieties of English are explored. I argue that spoken practices are largely self-norming and thus beyond deliberate restandardization. By contrast, …
St Century Trends in Language and Economics
Economic factors that language policy makers must take into account include a recent trend toward financial globalisation. I first argue that, just as an earlier process of global integration ended in retreat, the current integrative process is not inexorable. Were it to intensify, however, it is likely that low-income countries will become more closely involved in the process. I then argue that current demographic trends point to further growth …
Squaring the circles: Issues in modeling English worldwide
The model originally promoted by Braj Kachru and representing English worldwide as Inner, Outer, and Expanding circles has helped valorize denigrated varieties by drawing attention to commonalities across old and new varieties and by altering perceptions of their communicative potential and relative prestige. However, the model suffers from being based in a political/historical view of English worldwide and thus fails to capture transplantations …
Predicting challenges to English as a global language in the 21st century
The worldwide dominance of English is such that only catastrophic upheaval could seemingly threaten it in the near future. In the longer term, an emerging power (eg, China) may come to challenge American supremacy and with it the dominant position of English. However, even in the event of such a realignment, the language of that emerging power (eg, Chinese) may not succeed in arresting the advantage English already derives from critical mass. To …

Missing in action: Verbal metaphor for information technology
The rapid spread of Information Technology (IT) in recent years and the role it plays in many aspects of our lives has not left language use untouched. A manifestation of this role is the degree of linguistic creativity that has accompanied technological innovation. In English, this creativity is seen in the semantic relabeling of established terms such as web , bug , virus , firewall , etc. Another strategy favored by IT lexifiers is the use of …
Supping With the Dismal Scientists: Practical Interdisciplinarity in Language Education and Development Economics
For the many living in destitution throughout the developing world, the concept of economic development makes little sense unless it brings tangible improvements in basic living standards. It is generally agreed that a key ingredient in creating favourable conditions for this development is language education and especially literacy. Thus language education and development economics should form natural academic bedfellows. Yet, a survey of recent…
