2010. ‘The geolinguistics of English as an academic Lingua Franca: citation practices across English medium national and English medium international journals’.
International Journal of Applied Linguistics 20/1: 111-135
Summary: This article explores how the global status of English is influencing knowledge production and circulation, focusing on citations in English medium national and English medium international journal articles. Drawing on text, ethnographic and corpus data from a longitudinal study in four national contexts, we argue that citation practices vary significantly along geolinguistic lines which are highly consequential.
