Description

English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) is a term used to describe the use of English as a common language for communication between speakers whose first language is not English. Providing a unique and original perspective on this subject, Istvan Kecskes explains the language behaviour of ELF speakers, through the lens of Gricean pragmatics. This study successfully brings together the main viewpoints of the Gricean paradigm into ELF research, to discuss and better understand the nature of ELF interactions, as well as explaining how Gricean pragmatics can benefit from investigating and analysing ELF. Each chapter presents intriguing ideas that put existing knowledge into a new perspective, such as interactional competence, intention, implicatures, the semantics-pragmatics interface, and modality. New terms and viewpoints such as language use mode, deliberate creativity, temporary extension of the system, emergent common ground and modality continuum are introduced into the ELF debate. Book Description Explores how Gricean pragmatics can account for the language behaviour of speakers of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). About the Author Istvan Kecskes is Distinguished Professor of the State University of New York, Albany. He is the President of the American Pragmatics Association and the CASLAR (Chinese as a Second Language Research) Association. He is author of Foreign Language and Mother Tongue (2000, with Tunde Papp), Situation-Bound Utterances in L1 and L2 (2003) and Intercultural Pragmatics (2013). He is the founding editor of the journal Intercultural Pragmatics
