Description

About the Author Manuela Vida-Mannl is Postdoctoral Researcher in English Linguistics at TU Dortmund University, Germany. Product Description This book offers a unique insight into the dynamics of the English language in higher education in Cyprus through the lens of universities situated on both sides of its geopolitical division. It takes an original perspective on 'value' in the context of the sociolinguistics and political economy of English as a global language and as an apparent commodified entity. The problematic issues of value as they apply to language are dealt with from Marxist and Bourdieusean perspectives. The book also offers a helpful critique of the claims of alternative paradigms of English expansion, such as ELF, and their shortcomings in respect of the concept of value. Manuela Vida-Mannl puts forth a critique of the marketization of English and the complicity of higher education in the reproduction of linguistic hierarchies and social inequalities in Cyprus and, by implication, more generally. She presents a conception of English as a marketable attribute that does not necessarily require competence, which points to the ongoing imbrication of English in the reproduction of global structural and social inequality, as it exposes the myth of class advancement through English. Building on an extensive study (based on 205 questionnaires and 25 subsequent in-depth ethnographic interviews) and by focusing on the value of English within the unique context of divided Cyprus, this book uncovers an intriguing perspective on the neoliberal role and significance of the English language in our globalized world. Review "With this excellent book, Manuela Vida-Mannl offers a unique insight into the political economy of English on the divided island of Cyprus. Vida-Mannl's book is an original and careful study which has important implications for debates about global linguistic inequality and social justice in international higher education contexts." --John O'Regan, Professor of Critical Applied Linguistics, UCL Institute of Education, University College London, UK"Rarely are all three approaches to how value is assigned to English-its ideological, communicative and economic value--treated together and as comprehensively as they are in this impressive and deeply researched book. It is a must-read for anyone interested in gaining a profound understanding of the role of English in today's world." --Elizabeth R. Miller, Professor of Applied Linguistics, University of North Carolina at Charlotte, USA
