초록
This paper aims to investigate the linguistic realities of what is known as Standard English in the context of World Englishes. Beyond sociolinguistic and educational realities, extensively studied by Kachru and others in their critiques of Quirk's reservations regarding deficit linguistics, this study focuses on the rationale for non-standard English variants in the Outer and Expanding Circles based on the linguistic dynamics of ever-changing variants of Standard English in the Inner Circle. In doing so, it is argued that the linguistic realities of Standard English may not be impervious to change: they can be modified in terms of alterations to the relative importance of violable constraints. Especially within the global landscape of World Englishes, non-native English variants in both the Outer and Expanding Circles may be considered liberated from the endocentric norms of Standard English. The findings of this study are expected to offer educational insights, liberating both teachers and learners of English in Korea from long-standing myths about Standard English and native English norms.
Abstract
This paper aims to investigate the linguistic realities of what is known as Standard English in the context of World Englishes. Beyond sociolinguistic and educational realities, extensively studied by Kachru and others in their critiques of Quirk's reservations regarding deficit linguistics, this study focuses on the rationale for non-standard English variants in the Outer and Expanding Circles based on the linguistic dynamics of ever-changing variants of Standard English in the Inner Circle. In doing so, it is argued that the linguistic realities of Standard English may not be impervious to change: they can be modified in terms of alterations to the relative importance of violable constraints. Especially within the global landscape of World Englishes, non-native English variants in both the Outer and Expanding Circles may be considered liberated from the endocentric norms of Standard English. The findings of this study are expected to offer educational insights, liberating both teachers and learners of English in Korea from long-standing myths about Standard English and native English norms.
