Opis

English is now a global phenomenon, no longer a bounded facility primarily serving territorially, culturally and socially well defined functions. This title will re-define the discipline of English studies and provide an authoritative overview of this area. Taking into account the changing conceptualisations of English as a means of communication and as a curriculum subject, this companion considers both historical trajectories and contemporary perspectives whilst also showcasing the state-of-the-art contributions made by the more established components of English studies.
