Abstract

The present paper aims at expanding the English as an International Language (EIL) paradigm and providing new insights into the current status and role of EIL.1 The main focus of the study is on information structuring (IS) in dialogic speech events to show how IS affects the use of particular constructions, namely it-clefts, wh-cleft and topicalisation (left dislocation) which seem to show higher frequency in EIL than in standard English (Biber et al. 1998). For the purpose of this preliminary study, samples of spoken ELF data including private dialogues and academic discussions were selected from the VOICE (Vienna-Oxford International Corpus of English) to investigate left-right asymmetries in EIL interactions, which is an area still lacking of attention with respect to lexical and other phrasal phenomena.

从不同的母语视角拓展英语作为国际语言的范式

本文旨在扩展英语作为国际语言（EIL）的范式，并对EIL的现状和作用提供新的见解。1本研究的主要重点是对话言语事件中的信息结构（is），以展示is如何影响特定结构的使用，即it clefts，wh分裂和局部化（左脱位），这在EIL中似乎比在标准英语中表现出更高的频率（Biber等人，1998）。为了进行这项初步研究，从VOICE（维也纳-牛津国际英语语料库）中选择了包括私人对话和学术讨论在内的ELF口语数据样本，以调查EIL互动中的左右不对称，这是一个在词汇和其他短语现象方面仍然缺乏关注的领域。

期刊介绍： Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance. Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
