LinguisTisch: Sarah Buschfeld (TU-Dortmund)
40 years of modeling World Englishes: Where to from here?
Ever since its birth around the 1980s, the World Englishes paradigm has been an ever-growing and flourishing sub-discipline of modern linguistics. It originates in the dispersion of English as the result of British (and partly American) colonization and has long focused on postcolonial first- and second-language varieties of English. However, it has currently been moving beyond its traditional focus and has started to embrace variety types (e.g., non-postcolonial Englishes, hybrid Englishes / mixed codes) and usage forms of English (e.g., grassroots Englishes, digital Englishes) that challenge most (if not all) traditional theoretical approaches to the field.
The present paper first offers a brief, critical account of 40 years of World Englishes modeling and shows how many recent realities of the dispersion and use of English worldwide challenge the traditional paradigm.
