Abstract

LANGUAGE, VOLUME 79, NUMBER 4 (2003) reconciled in the context of language teaching through the codification of SME in dictionaries. For this reason, this book will be of primary interest to teachers of English and lexicographers but potentially also to linguists who are interested in the changes in the role and status of SME. The first three chapters present an overview of the newly emerging status of SME. In Ch. 1, ANNE PAKIR notes the role of the increasing number of Englishspeaking bilinguals in Singapore and Malaysia in changing these countries into `new epicenters of English' (2). JOSEPH FOLEY's Ch. 2 argues for pedagogical approaches that view English as a first language for Singaporean students, and in Ch. 3, ELAINE MORAIS sees the lectal varieties of ME as evidence that their speakers have taken ownership of English to express a unique Malaysian voice. Chs. 4­8 discuss specific linguistic features of SME in more detail, arguing for their systematicity and legitimacy. In Ch. 4, LISA LIM studies the intonation of SE among different ethnic groups, and in Ch. 5, BAO ZHIMING discusses the challenges that internal variability presents to the study of SE phonology. In Ch. 6, LUBNA ALSAGOFF
