Read the following excerpt:“ELF is now the most common use of English in the world (Jenkins 2007), so a study of its linguistic features and the ways it allows people to achieve successful intercultural communication offers insights about international communication and also guidelines for English language teaching. (...) Although ELF shares some grammatical and phonological features with New Englishes (Deterding and Kirkpatrick 2006), ELF speakers generally avoid the use of local lexis and idioms (Kirkpatrick 2007b). This is a key distinction between World Englishes and ELF, as one fundamental role of World Englishes lies in their ability to reflect local phenomena and cultural values, often through the use of borrowings from local languages. In contrast, this is avoided in ELF communication, where the fundamental role is to facilitate cross-cultural communication”Kirkpatrick and Deterding, p. 382. In: SIMPSON, J. (Ed.) The Routledge Handbook of Applied Linguistics. London: Routledge, 2011.)In relation to New Englishes and English as a Lingua Franca (ELF), it is correct to state that
- ANew Englishes are localized varieties of English that develop in specific regions, while ELF is used as a common language between speakers from different language backgrounds.
- BEnglish as a Lingua Franca (ELF) is spoken exclusively in former British colonies, just like New Englishes.
- CNew Englishes and ELF aim to replicate Standard English as closely as possible to ensure uniformity across speakers.
- DNew Englishes must follow the grammar and vocabulary of British or American English to be considered correct, whereas ELF allows more flexibility.
