WELCOME TO THE 24TH INTERNATIONAL ASSOCIATION FOR WORLD
ENGLISHES
UNIVERSITY OF LIMERICK
20-22 JUNE 2019 Dear Colleagues,
It is an honour to host the 24th International Association for World Englishes conference,
IAWE 2019, at the University of Limerick. This is the first time that the IAWE conference has
been held in Ireland, and we are delighted to welcome you all to our vibrant city, and
the University of Limerick’s beautiful campus. We hope that your time here will be
enjoyable, and that you will find the scope and nature of the academic programme
stimulating.
Our conference theme, World Englishes: Peripheries and centres, has generated an
extensive range of creative and innovative contributions from eminent, established and
emerging scholars, who explore the tensions and dynamics of centrality and peripherality
from multiple perspectives, and discuss the state-of-the-art in world Englishes research
more generally. Our invited plenary speakers are Raymond Hickey, Helen Kelly-Holmes,
Isabel Pefianco Martin, SN Sridhar and Marianne Hundt; we thank them all for accepting
our invitation, and in advance for their contributions to the conference.
The local organisation of this year’s conference has been a joint collaboration between
colleagues at the University of Limerick and Mary Immaculate College Limerick, under
the aegis of the Centre for Applied Language Studies. We also owe a great debt of
gratitude to the International Organising Committee for their generosity and support.
We wish you all a rewarding conference experience, and hope that you will take some
time to enjoy the University of Limerick campus, and our truly unique city – out here in the
periphery of Europe!
Looking forward to meeting you all in person,
Best wishes
Elaine Vaughan
Conference Chair 2019

WELCOME FROM IAWE EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR, PROFESSOR KINGSLEY
BOLTON
Dear Conference Attendees,
Welcome to the 24th Conference of the International Association for World Englishes! This
year’s conference promises to be as engaging and interesting as so many of our earlier
conferences, which over the years have taken place at venues in Africa, Asia, the
Americas, the Pacific, and Europe. IAWE conferences are notable for their friendliness
and internationalism, bringing together academics and students of language, linguistics
and literature from so many parts of the world. For many of us, the IAWE conferences are
also an opportunity to re-connect with old friends, or, alternatively, to make new friends
in the international academic community.
The conference theme ‘World Englishes: Peripheries and centres’ explores the notion that
in today’s globalized world, notions of peripherality and centrality may apply to the
spread of English worldwide at a number of levels, and, judging from the program,
participants to the conference have responded to that theme in diverse and innovative
fashion.
We are very grateful to all those who have made this conference possible, in particular,
the creative and hard-working members of the Local Organizing Committee, which has
included Dr Brian Clancy, Dr Máiréad Moriarty, Dr Maria Rieder, and Dr Elaine Vaughan.
We are very grateful to them the outstanding contribution they have made in planning
the conference, and putting together an excellent program of plenaries and
presentations.
Wishing everyone an enjoyable and inspirational conference!
Best wishes

PLENARY SESSIONS
Raymond Hickey
University of Duisberg and Essen
Irish English – both periphery and centre
In the arena of varieties of English, forms of Irish English occupy a unique position. They
show a great vintage: English was taken to Ireland more than 800 years ago. Since then
it has diversified considerably and illustrates the effects of both regional/archaic input
from England and language contact and shift from Irish, the previous native language of
the majority of Ireland’s population. Furthermore, Irish English partakes in the many
sociolinguistic trends found in present-day forms of English on the levels of pronunciation,
grammar and vocabulary. Research into Irish English is a vibrant and innovative field
putting it at the forefront of variety studies world-wide. The multi-facetted nature of Irish
English renders it relevant to comparative studies and provides insights into language
variation and change which makes forms of English in Ireland of interest to scholars
working in the wide-ranging paradigm of world Englishes.
Bionote
Raymond Hickey is Professor at the Department of Anglophone Studies, University of
Duisburg and Essen, Germany, and holds the Chair for General Linguistics and Varieties
of English. His main research interests are varieties of English (especially Irish English and
Dublin English) and general questions of language contact, variation and change as well
as computer corpus processing. He has written and edited multiple volumes including
Legacies of Colonial English (CUP, 2004); Dublin English. Evolution and Change (John
Benjamins, 2005); Irish English. History and Present-day Forms (CUP, 2007); The Handbook

University of Limerick
World Englishes 3.0: Centres and peripheries
According to Friedman’s ‘Flat World Theory’, globalization can be understood in terms of
different eras primarily in relation to the key actors of the respective era. Thus, he sees
globalization 1.0 as being driven primarily by countries; globalization 2.0 by companies;
and globalization 3.0 by individuals. At play in these different eras have been different
technological imperatives and economic frameworks which have determined the shape
of these different eras of globalization. I am understanding World Englishes 3.0 thus as
primarily driven by individuals using digital technology to express themselves through and
to create and share knowledge about World Englishes. Not surprisingly, many of our
studies of language contact now take place in online contexts. In this paper, I would like
to focus on how the technological and politico-economic basis of digital technology
creates centres and peripheries in relation to usage of and knowledge about world
Englishes. I use a recent Twitter ‘discussion’ in relation to the correct term of address in
Irish English for ‘mother’ to explore processes of centralization and peripheralization in
contemporary debates and usage of world Englishes.

Isabel Pefianco Martin
Ateneo de Manila University
Pinoylish: Philippine Englishes as hugot
My presentation focuses on Philippine English varieties, or Philippine Englishes, as
continuously traversing peripherality and centrality. In order to do this, I will approach
Philippine Englishes as hugot, a Tagalog term that means “to draw out” or “to pull out.”
Hugot became a popular concept among young Filipinos as #hugot, referring to
situations that draw out deep-seated emotions or attachments that are often
unconscious or not immediately apparent to the individual. As hugot, Philippine Englishes
are in constant flux, in continuous construction, always fluid, occupying various points in
a continuum of peripherality and centrality. Philippine Englishes as hugot draw from a
repertoire of local languages, including English as a Philippine mother tongue, as well as
other modes of communication that shape what is meaningful to the Pinoy (another term
for the Filipino person). Thus, for Philippine Englishes as hugot, a more appropriate label is
Pinoylish, referring to languages in the Philippines that are diverse, variable, and
emergent.

The curious dynamics of center and periphery in world Englishes
I will start with the notions of center and periphery as used in the humanities and social
sciences and examine the validity of applying these polarities to the field of world
Englishes. I will analyze concepts such as power, control, ownership, authority,
authenticity and autonomy, noting the Foucauldian dimensions of this architecture. I
argue that the polycentric world of world Englishes -- the nature and sources of
innovations, the directionality of their diffusion, their referential social structures, and the
cultural-communicational functionalities which progenerate and necessitate them --
render the notions of center and periphery permeable, upending our traditional
understanding of these concepts.

On models and modelling in world Englishes
Since the onset of world Englishes research, linguists have been invested, on the one
hand, in getting to grips with the diversity of different kinds of Englishes around the globe
and, on the other hand, in making sense of their structural properties, i.e. what they share
and what makes them distinct from each other. The first strand of research has led to a
proliferation of theoretical models of world Englishes, the second to comparative
research relying increasingly on sophisticated statistical modelling of the variation
underlying usage patterns across different Englishes. The connection between these two
strands of research, however, is not always as clear as we might wish and occasionally
even rather tenuous. As Gries et al. (2018: 273) point out, “it would certainly be useful if
such models [of world Englishes] were formulated with a degree of precision that makes
it (more) straightforward to arrive at falsifiable operationalizations to test their claims, not
to mention predictions.”
In an earlier study (Hundt 2013), I critically assessed the relation between theoretical
prediction(s) and ways of testing these empirically for the pluricentric model of world
Englishes (Leitner 1992). The aims of this paper are, first, to revisit existing models of world
Englishes with a view to their predictive ‘power’ for empirical research and, second, to
review recent corpus-based studies with respect to the ways that these have tried to –
implicitly or explicitly – operationalise predictions of theoretical models. And I will attempt
to answer the question whether, ultimately, the relation between theoretical models and
empirical/statistical modelling in world Englishes research is one where “never the twain
shall meet”.
