ELF: English as a lingua franca
The Vienna Oxford International Corpus of English
(VOICE), a collection of English as a Lingua Franca (ELF)
currently under construction, defines lingua franca as an
additionally acquired language system that serves as a
means of communication for speakers from different speech
communities, who use it to communicate with each other but
for whom it is not their native language.
Early findings from the VOICE corpus tentatively identify
a number of features which point to systematic lexicogrammatical differences between native-speaker English and
ELF, for example dropping the third person present tense ‘s’
(e.g. she wear), omitting definite and indefinite articles,
insertion of prepositions (e.g. can we discuss about this
issue). These features are not a threat to comprehension, as
they involve typical errors that most English teachers would
correct and remediate. However, Seidlhofer (2004) points out
that they appear to be generally unproblematic and do not
cause an obstacle to communicative success in ELF.
The work of Jenkins (1996, 2000, 2004, 2005) has also
been very influential in relation to the teaching of pronunciation
for ELF. Her research finds that a number of items common to
most native-speaker varieties of English were not necessary
in successful ELF interactions; for example, the substitution
of voiceless and voiced th with /t/ or /s/ and /d/ or /z/ (e.g.
think became sink or tink, and this became dis or zis). Jenkins
argues that such features occur regularly in ELF interactions
and do not cause intelligibility problems.
Problems may arise in the (perhaps unfair) equation
between a reduced or ‘stripped down’ ELF syllabus and an
impoverished experience of the L2. Indeed, it could be argued
that learners of any language always end up producing less
than the input they are exposed to, and that if that input itself
is deliberately restricted, then even less will be the outcome.

The VOICE has identified the insertion of prepositions
as an emerging pattern in ELF. An example of such a
linguistic deviation is found in alternative

Germany's World Cup-winning captain and coach
Beckenbauer dies at 78
By Reuters
German soccer legend Franz Beckenbauer died at the
age of 78. His remarkable career lasted over 50 years.
Beckenbauer was an amazing player, coach, a
football expert, and he greatly impacted the sport. His
commanding presence on the pitch, both with West
Germany and Bayern Munich, earned him acclaim. He
played a key role in Bayern Munich’s nest years in the
mid-1970s. During this time, the club achieved three
European Cups and Bundesliga titles. As a manager,
Beckenbauer won the 1972 European Championship. In
1974, he was the captain when his team won the World
Cup.
Politicians, fans, colleagues, and football clubs
reacted to Beckenbauer’s death. He remains a symbol of
German football excellence.

Duct-taped banana artwork sells for $6.2m in NYC
Maurizio Cattelan's provocative artwork of a banana duct-taped to a wall has fetched $6.2m (£4.9m) at Sotheby's in New York - four times higher than pre-sale estimates.
The auction house says Chinese cryptocurrency entrepreneur Justin Sun outbid six other rivals to get the "Comedian" installation of the Italian visual artist on Wednesday.
"In the coming days, I will personally eat the banana as part of this unique artistic experience," Mr Sun was quoted as saying.
The taped banana - now perhaps one of the most expensive fruits ever sold - was actually bought earlier in the day for a mere $0.35, according to the New York Times.
"Comedian" was first unveiled to the public in 2019, instantly becoming a viral sensation and also provoking heated debates about what art is.
The installation - which has travelled around the world - comes with instructions on how to replace the banana whenever it rots.
In fact, the fruit has been eaten not once, but twice.
In 2023, a South Korean art student helped himself when the installation went on display at Seoul's Leeum Museum of Art.
The museum later placed a new banana in the same spot, local media reported.
Four years earlier, a performance artist pulled the banana from the wall after the artwork was sold for $120,000 at Art Basel in Miami.
The banana was swiftly replaced, and no further action was taken.
Justin Sun runs the Tron blockchain network, which facilitates some cryptocurrency transactions. Last year the US Securities and Exchange Commission accused him of fraud, saying he had falsely inflated trading volumes of TRX, Tron's crypto token. Mr Sun denies the charges.

Girls play outside in nature less than boys do, even at the
age of two, according to the first national survey of play among
preschool-age children in Britain. While researchers expect to see
older children socialised to particular gender roles, they were
shocked to see similar patterns of behaviour starting to emerge at
such a young age. They fear it could have long-term implications
for girls’ health, as girls are less physically active as they get
older and are more likely than boys to have difficulties with their
mental health.
The study also found that preschool-age children from a
minority ethnic background play less outdoors than their white
counterparts, and children in urban areas play less outdoors than
those in rural areas. “The results highlight inequalities in play
even in the youngest age group, which may exacerbate existing
inequalities in health,” the report concluded.
The research surveyed more than 1,100 parents and carers
of children aged two, three and four. They found that preschool
children spent approximately four hours a day at play, of which
one hour and 45 minutes was spent playing outdoors, mainly in
back gardens at home. Away from home, children played in
playgrounds and green spaces, with the most adventurous play
usually associated with indoor play centres.
“The popularity of these play centers is growing,” the
report said. “This may be driven by indoor play centres providing
adventurous play experiences that overcome some of the barriers
to outdoor adventurous play such as traffic, weather and safety
concerns.”

According to the preceding text, judge the following item.
It is correct to infer from the text that safety is a factor that stops parents from letting their children play in indoor play centers.

Read the excerpt of the book entitled 'The Other Tongue:
English across cultures' written by Joshua A. Fishman,
published in 1992:
Sociology of English as an Additional Language
The ongoing nativization of non-native Englishes in
various parts of the world proceeds within the penumbra
of a rather stable and widespread image of English. This
image is itself both influenced by and, in turn,
contributory to an international sociolinguistic balance of
power that characterizes the latter part of the twentieth
century. This balance of power rests solidly on three
realities: (1) not only is English increasingly associated
with technological modernity and power, but this
association is now being fostered by non-English
mother-tongue interests; (2) English is both functionally
fostered and regulated by local political authorities; and
(3) indigenous "preferred languages" are complementary
fostered and regulated by these same authorities.
Not only is English still spreading, but it is even being
spread by non-English mother-tongue interests.
The world has previously witnessed the spread of
languages of empire, the diffusion of lingua francas, and
the growth of international languages. In most respects,
therefore, the continued spread of English for
international and intranational purposes is not novel in
the annals of world history—or, if it is novel, it is so
primarily in a quantitative sense, in terms of scale, rate,
and degree, rather than in any qualitative sense or in
terms of kind. If there is something qualitatively new
under the sun in conjunction with the spread of English inthe non-English mother-tongue world, it is merely that the
spread has reached such an order of magnitude that it is
now significantly fostered by the non- English
mother-tongue world, rather than being predominantly
de- pendent on resources, efforts, or personnel of the
English mother -
tongue world (Conrad and Fishman 1977). Whether we
monitor the veritable army of English-speaking
econo-technical specialists, advisors, and
representatives, or whether we examine the diffusion of
English publications, films, radio and television programs,
literacy programs and educational opportunities, it is
becoming increasingly clear that non-English
mother-tongue countries are significantly active in each of
these connections. Nor is their involvement merely that of
Third World recipients of Western largesse. True, Third
World nations are themselves fostering massive efforts
via and on behalf of English. On the other hand,
however, equally massive programs via English are being
conducted by the Soviet Union, the Arab world, and
mainland China-world powers that have their own
well-developed standard languages and that normally
oppose various political, philosophical, and economic
goals of the English mother-tongue world.
