Lionel Wee is an associate professor in the Department of English Language and Literature at the National University of Singapore. He has published extensively on language policy, World Englishes, sociolinguistics and pragmatics. He is an associate editor of the Journal of Sociolinguistics and sits on the editorial boards of Applied Linguistics and English World-Wide.A collection of authoritative and up-to-date essays by internationally renowned scholars on the complex unfolding linguistic ecology that is Singapore today. This book will be of great interest to sociolinguistics generally and world Englishes scholarship in particular. -- Rajend Mesthrie, University of Cape Town
This book provides a detailed investigation into the state and status of English in Singapore. These are important barometers of how successful this dynamic society is in its attempt to stay relevant to the world 'outside', even as it insists on portraying itself in terms of a resolutely Asian identity.
