My Language, Your Culture: Whose Communicative Competence?

Peer reviewed

Nelson, Cecil L. – World Englishes: Journal of English as an International and Intranational Language, 1985

Examines communicative competence in transplanted varieties of English used in various non-Western sociocultural contexts in the world. The examples presented show that native speakers' judgements of the deviations in such Englishes are based on both attitudinal factors and on genuine expectations in the context of verbal interaction.
