About this Item

Title

  • English in the Nordic countries : connections, tensions, and everyday realities

Summary

  • "People in the Nordic states - Norway, Sweden, Finland, Denmark, and Iceland - rank as among the most proficient speakers of English in the world. In this unique volume, international experts explore how this came to be, what English usage and integration looks like in different spheres of society and the economy in these countries, and the implications of this linguistic phenomenon for language attitudes and identity, for the region at large, and for English in Europe and around the world. Led by Elizabeth Peterson and Kristy Beers Fagersten, contributors provide a historical overview to the subject, synthesize the latest research, illustrate the roles of English with original case studies from diverse communities and everyday settings, and offer transnational insights critically and in conversation with the situation in other Nordic states. This comprehensive text is the first book of its kind and will be of interest to advanced students and researchers of World/Global Englishes & English as a lingua franca, language contact & dialect studies/language varieties, language policy, multilingualism, sociolinguistics, and Nordic/Scandinavian & European studies"-- Provided by publisher.
