- More about African Englishes and Multilingualism for the Transformative Development of Postcolonial Africa
This open access edited volume brings together a team of linguists to explore how indigenized varieties of English and multilingualism interact with the holistic transformation of Africa. Contributors discuss the transformative development vision for Africa with a focus on ex-colonial languages, indigenized varieties and indigenous mother tongues. In doing so, they explore linguistic evolution and developments towards endonormativity, investigate the correlation between the Africanisation of English and transformative development, the indiginization of medical terminology in HIV/AIDS consultations, the interactions of Romance languages with local English varieties, and resonances between decolonizing multilingualisms in Singapore and Africa.
Going beyond traditional emphases on economic and industrial progress, the authors gathered here ultimately develop new analytical frameworks that align with African realities and priorities and ultimately promote the decolonisation of the African minds, which remains a work in progress.
