This volume, the third of the English in the World series, raises the long standing debate between the globalization of English in today’s research world and those local English language idiosyncrasies and behavior within particular academic communities. The contributions compiled in this edition thus explore a ‘local adaptation’ of language in a small –but none the less representative– university setting, the University of Michigan. Using multidisciplinary standpoints such as critical discourse analysis, pragmatics, translation, genre theory, functional systemic theory, applied linguistics, language acquisition and language learning pedagogy, the volume intends to shed light on how English language behaves in this particular microcosm and how meanings are constructed by and among the members of the academe. The volume bridges the gap between language research and language teaching/learning and is of direct interest to both linguists, language instructors and translators of English for Academic Purposes.
