Winner of the BAAL Book Prize 2016 The field of "World Englishes" takes on ever more importance in the modern era. Mario Saraceni's World Englishes: A Critical Analysis looks at the developments in the field from a critical perspective. It examines the historical, linguistic, ideological and pedagogical aspects in the study of the ever-evolving forms, roles and statuses of English around the world. The principal aim is to offer a critical overview of the field in order both to inform readers about the main issues at stake and to challenge established positions and descriptive/analytical paradigms. The book has four sections, each of which reviews established accounts and offers alternative perspectives on those. History considers representations of the evolution of old English and new Englishes and begins to unveil the strong link between conventional accounts and ideological motivations. Language critically examines the traditional notion of difference in the description of varieties of English, and discusses more recent orientations which aim to describe English as a lingua franca and the phenomenon of language hybridity. Ideology examines ideological debates around the presence and status of English in the world, such as linguistic imperialism, language ownership and language ecology. The final section, Pedagogy discusses pedagogical implications, such as the choice of appropriate models of English and considers the possibility of teaching English as a fully de-anglicised language.
