The Other Tongue: English across Cultures

This book is basically a compilation of papers presented at the conference on &dquo;English in Non-native Contexts&dquo; held at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign on 30 June to 2 July 1978 in conjunction with the Linguistic Institute of the Linguistic Society of America. The editor tells us that 60% of the papers were invited presentations at that conference; the rest were specifically commissioned from scholars who were not present at that conference.
