“…The distinctive features of AusE suggest that it has consolidated its own norms as an independent national standard. AusE is today recognized as a major variety of English, one for which there may be an increasing role as an epicentre in the Asia-Pacifi c region (Leitner 2004).…”

“…While the study of the historical development of AusE fi rst began to gather momentum in the 1960s, it has more recently enjoyed an upsurge of interest with the posthumous editing of A.G. Mitchell's unfi nished ms by Yallop (see Yallop 2001) and such publications as Leitner (2004) and Fritz (2007). While the focus has traditionally been primarily lexical (e.g.…”

“…Likewise, in her reference to Gerhard Leitner (2004), who proposes the term 'epicentre' for a regional standard, Peters is concerned to pursue the implications of such words. Epicentre implies the possibility of the variety (endonormative and stabilized) influencing other varieties, and this is what Peters calls 'epicentric influence', referring specifically to semantically transferred usages found in NZE based on convict settlement, and accordingly necessarily deriving from AusE.…”

Postcolonialism across the Disciplines showcases alternative directions for postcolonial studies. It is in part an attempt to counteract the dominance in colonial and postcolonial studies of one particular discipline -English literary/ cultural studies -and to make the case for a combination of disciplinary knowledges as the basis for contemporary postcolonial critique. Edited by leading scholars, the series aims to be a seminal contribution to the field, spanning the traditional range of disciplines represented in postcolonial studies but also those less acknowledged. It will also embrace new critical paradigms and examine the relationship between the transnational/cultural, the global and the postcolonial.

It is through such deeply intuitive insights drawn from hard work and concentration that one may reflect in new ways upon areas of history that are replete with ironies of involuntary association between cultures. Such ironies highlight an addiction to invariance, closed minds, and divided cultures, even as they disclose, I think, the mystery of cross-cultural wholeness steeped in the freedom of diversity to cross boundaries that restrict our vision of therapeutic and evolving reality.Wilson Harris, Selected Essays vii F irst, thanks to my students and teaching assistants from over eight years of teaching World Englishes. In particular, thanks to Tara Coleman and Chris Tsang, who helped recast its teaching in essential ways. Meanwhile, the final stages of this book would have been more problematic without the assistance of Emily Chow and Franziscka Cheng. I would also like to thank all my colleagues in Hong Kong for their hard work and challenging conversation. Extra thanks for a random selection of things to Peter Skehan, Julian Lamb, Eddie Tay, Michael O'Sullivan, Grant Hamilton, and Simon Haines. Beyond the Hong Kong context, I would like to thank David Ewick, who a long time ago prompted me to begin thinking about some of the issues addressed in this book in the Japanese context. In addition, thanks to Robert Phillipson for detailed and trenchant comments about the manuscript. Finally, I would like to acknowledge that the work recorded in this book was supported by a grant from the H...

“…The Australian language habitat is thus not a monolingual one, but rather is a multilingual tapestry interwoven with a constantly evolving mixture of indigenous languages, contact languages and migrant languages that overlays the prevailing mAusE paradigm. The way in which mAusE evolved, and its relationship to other forms of Australian English (AusE), such as ethnic Englishes, was addressed in the first volume, Australian English*/A National Language (Leitner 2004). The second volume, Ethnic Englishes, Indigenous and Migrant Languages.…”

“…The first chapter is a very brief outline of the main focus of the first volume (Leitner 2004), and an overview of the remaining four chapters in the book. The second chapter goes on to discuss indigenous languages, the third chapter addresses migrant languages, and the fourth chapter considers the development of language policy in the Australian context.…”
