Multilingual Development: English in a Global Context Siemund Peter
English as a global lingua franca interacts with other languages across a wide range of multilingual contexts. It takes Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai as case studies to illustrate the use of English in different multilingual urban areas, arguing that these are places where competing historical assessments, and ideological conceptions of monolingualism and multilingualism, are being acted out most forcefully. Combining insights from linguistics, education studies, and psychology, this book addresses the role of English within the current linguistic dynamics of globalization.
It also scrutinises multilingual language policies in their impact on attitudes, identities, and investment into It critically appraises the controversial concept of multilingual advantages, and studies multilingual cross-linguistic influence in relation to learning English in bilingual heritage contexts.
