Durham examines the degree to which variations in the features found in English as a lingua franca can be said to be ordered and understandable processes, even in the cases where they might differ from native speakers' patterns. Studying features that are inherently variable in native varieties of English and that are part of native speakers' sociolinguistic competence, she first establishes whether non-native speakers with three different linguistic background match the patterns of native speakers. Then she looks at whether these speaker groups are similar to each other but do not follow native patterns, which might demonstrate the use of a feature specifically for English as a lingua franca.

This book provides the first examination of sociolinguistic competence and the acquisition of native-like variability in an English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) context. It presents data from email exchanges between Swiss speakers (with German, French and Italian mother tongues) to allow for a greater understanding of which features of discourse are source language-related and which are learning-related.

Arvustused

This is a most interesting book and offers lots of new insights into language variation and change, the role of new technologies in the evolution of language use, new speech 'communities' of multilingual speakers and also further explorations of the relationship between SLA and sociolinguistics which add to those already in existence. In addition, there are interesting implications for language teaching and learning. * Vera Regan, University College Dublin, Ireland * Mercedes Durham's important new book contributes to our understanding of sociolinguistic variation in a multilingual context in general and to the role of English as a lingua franca in Switzerland in particular. Through rigorous analysis, the author shows how non-native speakers of English acquire considerable sociolinguistic competence. The findings reported here suggest that our ideas of sociolinguistic competence need to be redefined as English gains wider currency as a global language. * Robert Bayley, University of California, Davis, USA *
