African Englishes and Multilingualism for the Transformative Development of Postcolonial Africa

African Englishes and Multilingualism for the Transformative ...

Contenu

This open access edited volume brings together a team of African linguists to explore how English and its indigenized varieties, alongside other ex-colonial languages and their indigenized varieties, interact with the holistic transformation of the continent. Contributors explore linguistic evolution and developments towards endonormativity; the indiginization of medical terminology in HIV/AIDS consultations; the interactions of Romance languages with local English varieties; and resonances between decolonizing multilingualisms in Singapore and multilingualisms in Africa.

Going beyond traditional emphases on economic and industrial progress, the authors gathered here ultimately develop new analytical frameworks that align with African realities and priorities and ultimately promote the decolonisation of the African minds, which remains a work in progress.
