Welcome to the research network "Expanding Circle Englishes and Beyond" (xE+)!
Our aims are
to bring together World Englishes researchers who focus on Expanding Circle contexts (i.e., World Englishes in non-postcolonial contexts) and adopt a corpus-based perspective
to facilitate the creation and sharing of Corpora of Expanding Circle Englishes (CECE; pronounced see-see)
to foster exchange between researchers and offer support for corpus creation initiatives.
The founding members of the research network are:
Prof. Dr. Sofia Rüdiger, Freie Universität Berlin
Prof. Dr. Jakob Leimgruber, University of Regensburg
