English as a lingua franca: interpretations and attitudes
JENNIFER JENKINS

ABSTRACT:
The phenomenon of English as a lingua franca (ELF) has become the subject of considerable
debate during the past few years. What emerges from much of the discussion, however, is that there seems

‘anything goes’. I then consider the attitudes implicit in the second of these positions, and, using data
drawn from recent ELF research, go on to explore the possible effects of these attitudes on the identities of
ELF speakers from Expanding Circle countries. The paper ends on an optimistic note, with evidence from
