Description
Transnational Korean Englishes provides a comprehensive analysis of English language use among Korean speakers in diverse international settings. Authors Alex Baratta and Sofia Rudiger investigate how Korean speakers of English develop distinctive linguistic features that reflect both their L1 influence and their experiences in transnational communities.
The book explores key phonological, grammatical, and pragmatic characteristics of Korean English, examining how these features vary across different contexts and communities. It considers the role of education, migration patterns, and globalization in shaping these varieties of English. The research contributes to broader discussions in World Englishes scholarship about how English functions as a global language while maintaining local and regional distinctiveness.
Part of the prestigious Elements in World Englishes series, this volume offers valuable insights for linguists, English language educators, and researchers interested in English as an international language and the dynamics of multilingual communication.
