TY - JOUR ID - 785116 AU - Dontcheva-Navratilova, Olga PY - 2008 TI - Dimensions of English as a Lingua Franca JF - Acta academica karviniensia VL - 2008 IS - 1 SP - 66-74 EP - 66-74 PB - Slezská univerzita v Opavě, Obchodně podnikatelská fakulta v Karviné SN - 1212415X KW - lingua franca - intercultural communication - diplomatic language - academic writing - EFL - cultural awareness - socio-cultural context - genre - stance N2 - This paper considers some aspects of the use of English as a lingua franca in three communicative contexts, namely diplomacy, scientific interaction and teaching English as a foreign language and considers how the insights gathered may provide a model for coping with the challenges of intercultural communication in general. The paper suggests that the some of the ways for coping with the challenges of intercultural communication are a critical assessment of one's own culture and open-mindedness towards other cultural backgrounds, text interpretation based on an understanding of genre conventions and the expectations of the target discourse community, and the use of a high level of explicitness and an avoidance of culture specific idiomaticity. The author claims that the new dimensions of English as a lingua franca need not be in conflict with the concern for protecting cultural and linguistic diversity in the modern global world. ER -
