内容介绍

ABOUT this BOOK

Asia is now home to some 800 million multilingual speakers of English (more than the total number of native English speakers), and how they use English is continually evolving and changing to reflect their cultural backgrounds and everyday experiences. Can English, therefore, be considered an Asian language? Drawing upon the Asian corpus of English, this book will be the first comprehensive account of the roles, uses and features of English in Asia, encompassing several different varieties of Asian English. Chapters cover the distinctive linguistic features of English in different settings, such as in law, religion and popular culture, as well as the use of local rhetorical, pragmatic and cultural styles and its use as a lingua franca among Asian multilinguals. It will also examine the role of English in education – from primary through to higher education – and consider the implications of this for other languages of Asia.

亚洲现在有约八亿掌握多种语言的人会说英语（超过英语作为母语者的总人数），而他们使用英语的方式也在不断发展和变化，以反映他们的文化背景和日常经验。那么，英语可以被视为亚洲语言吗？本书将以我们自主开发的【亚洲英语语料库】为基础，首次全面介绍英语在亚洲的角色，用途和功能，同时介绍不同种类的亚洲英语。这些章节涵盖了英语在亚洲的法律，宗教和大众文化等不同背景下的独特语言特征，以及在亚洲作为通用语言使用时的本地特色，语用及文化风格。它还将研究英语从小学直至高等教育中的作用，并考虑英语对亚洲其他语言的影响。
