WELCOME TO THE 24TH INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR WORLD

ENGLISHES

UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK

20-22 JUNE 2019 Dear Colleagues,

It is an honour to host the 24th International Association for World Englishes conference,

IAWE 2019, at the University of Limerick. This is the first time that the IAWE conference has

been held in Ireland, and we are delighted to welcome you all to our vibrant city, and

the University of Limerick’s beautiful campus. We hope that your time here will be

enjoyable, and that you will find the scope and nature of the academic programme

stimulating.

Our conference theme, World Englishes: Peripheries and centres, has generated an

extensive range of creative and innovative contributions from eminent, established and

emerging scholars, who explore the tensions and dynamics of centrality and peripherality

from multiple perspectives, and discuss the state-of-the-art in world Englishes research

more generally. Our invited plenary speakers are Raymond Hickey, Helen Kelly-Holmes,

Isabel Pefianco Martin, SN Sridhar and Marianne Hundt; we thank them all for accepting

our invitation, and in advance for their contributions to the conference.

The local organisation of this year’s conference has been a joint collaboration between

colleagues at the University of Limerick and Mary Immaculate College Limerick, under

the aegis of the Centre for Applied Language Studies. We also owe a great debt of

gratitude to the International Organising Committee for their generosity and support.

We wish you all a rewarding conference experience, and hope that you will take some

time to enjoy the University of Limerick campus, and our truly unique city – out here in the

periphery of Europe!

Looking forward to meeting you all in person,

Best wishes

Elaine Vaughan

WELCOME FROM IAWE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PROFESSOR KINGSLEY

BOLTON

Dear Conference Attendees,

Welcome to the 24th Conference of the International Association for World Englishes! This

year’s conference promises to be as engaging and interesting as so many of our earlier

conferences, which over the years have taken place at venues in Africa, Asia, the

Americas, the Pacific, and Europe. IAWE conferences are notable for their friendliness

and internationalism, bringing together academics and students of language, linguistics

and literature from so many parts of the world. For many of us, the IAWE conferences are

also an opportunity to re-connect with old friends, or, alternatively, to make new friends

in the international academic community.

The conference theme ‘World Englishes: Peripheries and centres’ explores the notion that

in today’s globalized world, notions of peripherality and centrality may apply to the

spread of English worldwide at a number of levels, and, judging from the program,

participants to the conference have responded to that theme in diverse and innovative

fashion.

We are very grateful to all those who have made this conference possible, in particular,

the creative and hard-working members of the Local Organizing Committee, which has

included Dr Brian Clancy, Dr Máiréad Moriarty, Dr Maria Rieder, and Dr Elaine Vaughan.

We are very grateful to them the outstanding contribution they have made in planning

the conference, and putting together an excellent program of plenaries and

presentations.

Wishing everyone an enjoyable and inspirational conference!

Best wishes

PLENARY SESSIONS

Raymond Hickey

University of Duisberg and Essen

Irish English – both periphery and centre

In the arena of varieties of English, forms of Irish English occupy a unique position. They

show a great vintage: English was taken to Ireland more than 800 years ago. Since then

it has diversified considerably and illustrates the effects of both regional/archaic input

from England and language contact and shift from Irish, the previous native language of

the majority of Ireland’s population. Furthermore, Irish English partakes in the many

sociolinguistic trends found in present-day forms of English on the levels of pronunciation,

grammar and vocabulary. Research into Irish English is a vibrant and innovative field

putting it at the forefront of variety studies world-wide. The multi-facetted nature of Irish

English renders it relevant to comparative studies and provides insights into language

variation and change which makes forms of English in Ireland of interest to scholars

working in the wide-ranging paradigm of world Englishes.

Bionote

Raymond Hickey is Professor at the Department of Anglophone Studies, University of

Duisburg and Essen, Germany, and holds the Chair for General Linguistics and Varieties

of English. His main research interests are varieties of English (especially Irish English and

Dublin English) and general questions of language contact, variation and change as well

as computer corpus processing. He has written and edited multiple volumes including

Legacies of Colonial English (CUP, 2004); Dublin English. Evolution and Change (John

Benjamins, 2005); Irish English. History and Present-day Forms (CUP, 2007); The Handbook

of Language Contact (ed. Wiley-Blackwell, 2010; second edition, in preparation);

University of Limerick

World Englishes 3.0: Centres and peripheries

According to Friedman’s ‘Flat World Theory’, globalization can be understood in terms of

different eras primarily in relation to the key actors of the respective era. Thus, he sees

globalization 1.0 as being driven primarily by countries; globalization 2.0 by companies;

and globalization 3.0 by individuals. At play in these different eras have been different

technological imperatives and economic frameworks which have determined the shape

of these different eras of globalization. I am understanding World Englishes 3.0 thus as

primarily driven by individuals using digital technology to express themselves through and

to create and share knowledge about World Englishes. Not surprisingly, many of our

studies of language contact now take place in online contexts. In this paper, I would like

to focus on how the technological and politico-economic basis of digital technology

creates centres and peripheries in relation to usage of and knowledge about world

Englishes. I use a recent Twitter ‘discussion’ in relation to the correct term of address in

Irish English for ‘mother’ to explore processes of centralization and peripheralization in

contemporary debates and usage of world Englishes.

Isabel Pefianco Martin

Ateneo de Manila University

Pinoylish: Philippine Englishes as hugot

My presentation focuses on Philippine English varieties, or Philippine Englishes, as

continuously traversing peripherality and centrality. In order to do this, I will approach

Philippine Englishes as hugot, a Tagalog term that means “to draw out” or “to pull out.”

Hugot became a popular concept among young Filipinos as #hugot, referring to

situations that draw out deep-seated emotions or attachments that are often

unconscious or not immediately apparent to the individual. As hugot, Philippine Englishes

are in constant flux, in continuous construction, always fluid, occupying various points in

a continuum of peripherality and centrality. Philippine Englishes as hugot draw from a

repertoire of local languages, including English as a Philippine mother tongue, as well as

other modes of communication that shape what is meaningful to the Pinoy (another term

for the Filipino person). Thus, for Philippine Englishes as hugot, a more appropriate label is

Pinoylish, referring to languages in the Philippines that are diverse, variable, and

The curious dynamics of center and periphery in world Englishes

I will start with the notions of center and periphery as used in the humanities and social

sciences and examine the validity of applying these polarities to the field of world

Englishes. I will analyze concepts such as power, control, ownership, authority,

authenticity and autonomy, noting the Foucauldian dimensions of this architecture. I

argue that the polycentric world of world Englishes -- the nature and sources of

innovations, the directionality of their diffusion, their referential social structures, and the

cultural-communicational functionalities which progenerate and necessitate them --

render the notions of center and periphery permeable, upending our traditional

understanding of these concepts.

On models and modelling in world Englishes

Since the onset of world Englishes research, linguists have been invested, on the one

hand, in getting to grips with the diversity of different kinds of Englishes around the globe

and, on the other hand, in making sense of their structural properties, i.e. what they share

and what makes them distinct from each other. The first strand of research has led to a

proliferation of theoretical models of world Englishes, the second to comparative

research relying increasingly on sophisticated statistical modelling of the variation

underlying usage patterns across different Englishes. The connection between these two

strands of research, however, is not always as clear as we might wish and occasionally

even rather tenuous. As Gries et al. (2018: 273) point out, “it would certainly be useful if

such models [of world Englishes] were formulated with a degree of precision that makes

it (more) straightforward to arrive at falsifiable operationalizations to test their claims, not

to mention predictions.”

In an earlier study (Hundt 2013), I critically assessed the relation between theoretical

prediction(s) and ways of testing these empirically for the pluricentric model of world

Englishes (Leitner 1992). The aims of this paper are, first, to revisit existing models of world

Englishes with a view to their predictive ‘power’ for empirical research and, second, to

review recent corpus-based studies with respect to the ways that these have tried to –

implicitly or explicitly – operationalise predictions of theoretical models. And I will attempt

to answer the question whether, ultimately, the relation between theoretical models and

empirical/statistical modelling in world Englishes research is one where “never the twain

shall meet”.
