DISCOURSES COMMUNITIES AND GLOBAL ENGLISHES KAR...

The issue of English and its global versions has a lot to do with globalization at large as the
most invasive factor currently shaping the way we live  produce cultural artifacts  and
communicate across linguistic and political borders. The distinction between correct and
incorrect usage being to some extent irrelevant within a global context  this volume looks at
Global English in relation to global media  both traditional and electronic (magazines 
websites  and news distribution). It then addresses the issue from the point of view of
language teaching  academic discourse and world music. The final section is concerned with the
role of English within communities of professionals (marketing  accounting  psychoanalysis) in
an international context. The volume includes essays from scholars who adopt different
viewpoints  ranging from corpus linguistics to lexicology  sociolinguistics  and translation
studies.
