  2. ‘This is a landmark publication, led by a formidable team of editors, on a topic that has established itself as core to English and applied language studies. It is more than a state-of- the-art survey. It advances the field to a new level. It is an essential reference for students and scholars world-wide.’ Li Wei, Chair of Applied Linguistics, University College London, UK Edited by Jennifer Jenkins, Will Baker and Martin Dewey The Routledge Handbook of English as a Lingua Franca The Routledge Handbook of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) provides an accessible, authoritative and comprehensive introduction to the main theories, concepts, contexts and applications of this rapidly developing field of study. Including 47 state-of-the-art chapters from leading international scholars, the handbook covers key concepts, regional spread, linguistic features and communication processes, domains and functions, ELF in academia, ELF and pedagogy, and future trends. This handbook is key reading for all those engaged in the study and research of English as a lingua franca and world/global Englishes within English language, applied linguistics and education. Jennifer Jenkins holds the Chair of Global Englishes at the University of Southampton where she is also founding director of the Centre for Global Englishes. Will Baker is Deputy Director of the Centre for Global Englishes and convenor of MA Global Englishes, University of Southampton. Martin Dewey is Senior Lecturer at King’s College London, where he is Programme Director for the MA in Applied Linguistics and ELT.

  6. 30 ELF and translation/interpreting Michaela Albl-Mikasa Introduction Translation and interpreting (T&I), lingua francas, and active or receptive multilingualism have always co-existed as ways of dealing with language contact. The global spread of English as a lingua franca (ELF) in recent decades has led to an imbalance between the various forms of multilingualism, including T&I. This raises questions as to the relationship between ELF and T&I, the impact of ELF on T&I, and, more generally, the state of the art of research into the emerging subdiscipline of ITELF (interpreting, translating and English as a lingua franca) within the field of applied linguistics. T&I and ELF are essentially two types of communication that tackle the challenges of linguacultural differences in multilingual contexts. In ELF situations, non-native speakers of English (NNS) do so by creatively exploiting linguistic resources, and both NNS and native speakers of English (NS) employ accommodation strategies to this end (Seidlhofer, 2011). T&I is based on native or native-like linguistic competence and on T&I-specific skills. Contrary to most ELF speakers, translators and interpreters in their capacity as com- munication experts are professionals (not only within the context of, but) for communication across linguacultural boundaries. More specifically, they are professionallytrained multi- linguals, whereas (non-native) ELF speakers are usually untrained multilinguals. According to research into bilingualism, languages are generally co-activated in the bilingual mind (Green, 1998). Early bilinguals learn to switch between mono- and bilingual modes, that is, to deactivate unrequired languages or to keep all languages activated, depending on whether they communicate with monolinguals or other bilinguals. In addition to this, interpreters (and translators for that matter) are trained to control and inhibit the source language output mechanism in the interpreting task, while keeping both languages active (Grosjean, 1997). In the professionalT&I context, the question of “ELF translation” (House, 2013, pp. 287) does not arise. With this term, House refers to translations into English by translators with- out native-speaker competence. Interpreters and translators with English as their B language1 work from English into their A language, or from that A language (or sometimes one of their other working languages) into English B, but never into ELF. For one thing, T&I could not be offered into ELF, because ELF is not an English variety. More importantly, an English B Taylor and Francis Not for distribution 369 View publication stats View publication stats
