time flies! the last #ExpandingWorkshop talk just started: Lisa Lehnen, Ninja Schulz & Carolin Biewer draw on geolocated social media data from 19 cities around the world to investigate the discursive construction of place, a truly global study closing the workshop part of the first day of #ISLE8
Mauritius as a setting at the crossroads of the Francophone & Anglophone, but above all Creolophone (Kreol/Morisien) - Susanne Mühleisen on a linguistic situation tricky to put into any of the World Englishes models #ExpandingWorkshop #ISLE8
Philipp Meer shows how access to English in Brazil is strongly stratified, with past statistics showing only 5% of inhabitants reporting knowledge of English. Meer asks: Does it then make sense to look at English in Brazil from a World Englishes perspective? #ExpandingWorkshop #ISLE8
we're back after the lunch break, with Kristine D. de Leon & Edward Jay M. Quinto taking us to Oman. They work with a corpus of WhatsApp voice messages (which I think is really cool) and investigate lexical borrowing, preposition usage, and verb forms #ExpandingWorkshop #ISLE8
Very interesting to consider the role of languaging in post-independence nation-building, with Timor-Leste aggressively sending students abroad. Quinto works with the children of those who fought for independence - thinking about emotions passed on to the next generation #ExpandingWorkshop #ISLE8
the final talk before the lunch break on English in Timor-Leste by Edward Jay M. Quinto - cutting-edge work on the perspective of young professionals based in a multilingual ecology involving Tetun, Portuguese, Indonesian and English. #ExpandingWorkshop #ISLE8
We're moving on to Indonesia with Fransisca Kristanti & Shirley N. Dita on the phonology of Indonesian English: does a localized 'Indolish' variety exist? Corpus-work in progress with very promising targets for the inclusion of spoken and written language #ExpandingWorkshop #ISLE8
A short introduction to this topic can be found on the OED website (including a quiz [second link]):

Next up: Ariane Macalinga Borlongan presenting on his work with the Oxford English Dictionary to include words of Japanese origin into the dictionary. He made sure his favorite food - tonkatsu - was included too! #ExpandingWorkshop #ISLE8
The 1. workshop presentation by Chisato Oda showcased her corpus construction & analysis of a Japanese English corpus based on the ICE-model. And yes, JE shows register variation just like other varieties of English do so it makes sense to not rely on written learner data only #ExpandingWorkshop
