Exploring the complexities of English as a global lingua franca, this book addresses the intricate relationships between language, culture, and identity. It critiques traditional views that link language and culture strictly at a national level, highlighting the diverse contexts in which ELF operates. The text emphasizes that ELF communication is not culturally neutral, as all interactions are influenced by participants, purposes, and histories. New theoretical frameworks are proposed to better understand the dynamic nature of ELF and its implications for communication.
