This book presents an empirical investigation into the much discussed question whether English as an International Language (EIL) is becoming a describable language variety, i.e., a variety of English with clearly identifiable linguistic characteristics different from native varieties of English. By thoroughly investigating what is actually happening in the English spoken in the linguistic setting of multilingual Switzerland, this study presents evidence that challenges some of the dominant – though speculative – arguments in the field.
