JAN BLOMMAERT CONTEMPORARY SOCIOLINGUISTICS What sociolinguistics has to offer to English studies will be defined by new developments, not by older ones. The new developments challenge the study of language at a fundamental level; the questions they raise cannot be avoided (P. 131)

ENGLISH AND GLOBALIZATION

ENGLISH AND OTHER LANGUAGES It means that English, wherever it occurs in the world nowadays, occurs in a multilingual environment and as part of multilingual repertoires. Put simply, it means that, whenever we look at English, we also need to look at the other languages with which it co-exists and co- occurs (P. 131)

ENGLISH IS NOT FIXED: WHAT IS ENGLISH???? Language, as we have seen, is no longer a fixed thing; it is also no longer a unified thing, and globalization processes again prompt us to take this seriously

One answer given by researchers to these questions is that terms such as “English” obscure our analytical jargon and jeopardize empirical precision; instead, we should talk about “languaging” (Jörgensen 2008) – the kind of dynamic “bricolage” people perform when they communicate, gathering and creatively deploying any available useful communicative resource (P. 132).

SO WE SHOULD TALK ABOUT... LANGUAGING (JONGERSEN) TRANSIDIOMATC PRACTICES (JACQUEMENT) POLYLINGUALISM (JORGENSEN) METROLINGUALISM (PENNYCOOK AND OTSUJI) TRANSLANGUAGING (CANAGARAJAH)

NATIVES AND NON NATIVES NON NATIVES TO NON NATIVES;;; In ELF, the perspectiveis that “English is being shaped at least as much by its non-native speakers as by its native speakers” (Seidlhofer 2005: 339), and a systematic study of ELF should show the specific features and thresholds of English when used in non-native–non-native exchanges, now no longer measured by the yardstick of the mythologized native speaker (P. 135)

IMPORTANT....MULTILINGUAL SETTINGS Several of these points undoubtedly are an effect of the particular sociolinguistic intensity that characterizes multilingual communities of speakers. This is why, while the points have general validity, they have particular relevance for the study of English, for the reason given at the outset. English can no longer be seen as detached from the multilingual environments in which it operates, and the effects shown by the work discussed here are bound to appear, perhaps in different ways, elsewhere too. Their fundamental nature turns them into inescapable topics for reflection in English studies (P. 137).
