- Title
Exploring the ecology of World Englishes in the twenty-first century: Language, society and culture.
- Authors
Wilson, Guyanne
- Abstract
Chapter 5, "Cultural keywords in Indian English" by Pam Peters, is a sophisticated chapter which highlights how dictionaries and corpora can be used to carry out sound research on lexical and semantic change. Edgar W. Schneider's platform paper, 'Reflections of cultures in corpus texts: Focus on the Indo-Pacific region', presents the theoretical framework upon which the book's remaining chapters are built. On one level, her results for the use of first-person personal pronouns seem comparable to Schneider's (chapter 2) results for Singapore, though slightly lower than Schneider's results for India.
