摘要：本文认为，“世界英语范式”和英语作为弗兰卡（ELF）的研究，尽管有重要的差异，有很多共同之处。 两者都有一个多元中心的假设，即“英语”属于所有使用它的人，两者都关注这一假设的社会语言学，社会心理学和应用语言学含义。例如，语言接触，变异和变化，语言规范及其接受，语言的所有权，以及社会身份的表达等问题都是WE和ELF研究的核心。因此，越来越多的描述性极低频研究可以为整个领域的工作增添实质内容。它还可以为WE的几个核心理论结构提供新的视角，如“社区”，“多样性”，“通用语”，甚至“语言”。
ABSTRACT: This paper argues that the ‘world Englishes paradigm’ and English as a lingua franca (ELF) research, despite important differences, have much in common. Both share the pluricentric assumption that ‘English’ belongs to all those who use it, and both are concerned with the sociolinguistic, socio-psychological, and applied linguistic implications of this assumption. For example, issues of language contact, variation and change, linguistic norms and their acceptance, ownership of the language, and expression of social identities are central to both WE and ELF research. The growing body of descriptive ELF research that is now becoming available can thus add substance to work in the field as a whole. It can also offer fresh perspectives on several theoretical constructs central to WE, such as ‘community’, ‘variety’, ‘lingua franca’, even ‘language’.
