英语作为通用语：ELF研究及其发展

世界英语：文学、教学与研究

      第八届英语作为通用语国际研讨会（ELF8）将于2015年8月25—27日在北京国际会议中心举行。英语作为通用语研究对全球化过程中的英语进行了崭新的诠释，颠覆了传统意义上本族语英语使用者和非本族语英语使用者之间的区分，对传统的将标准英语视为非本族语英语使用者的唯一参考标准之观点进行了批判，强调英语语言的多样性，以及英语标准的多样性。这一崭新视角为传统英语研究带来挑战，也为英语研究带来无限创新机遇。迄今为止，ELF国际研讨会已经成功举办七届，分别在赫尔辛基（2008）、南安普顿（2009）、维也纳（2010）、香港（2011）、伊斯坦布尔（2012）、罗马（2013）和雅典（2014）等地召开。2015年，大会将第一次在中国内地举办，届时研讨会将邀请国内外学者围绕大会主题做主旨发言、特邀专题研讨和工作坊。
