What is Understanding Lingua Franca and ELF about?
A lingua franca is a common language used for communication between speakers of different native languages. Examples of its usefulness include international business meetings, academic collaborations, and travel. English has become the dominant global lingua franca, particularly after WWI, with over 96% of scientific articles written in English, but the rise of English as a lingua franca (ELF) has led to concerns about linguistic imperialism and communication challenges among non-native speakers.
