• Features & Benefits: The first cohesive treatment of the use and place of English in the Nordic countries, across domains and across the countries of the region.
• Demand: There is a lot of research and teaching interest in World/Global Englishes and English as a lingua franca, the Nordic countries have an unusually high degree of English teaching & learning & use in society, and there is a high degree of interest overall in the Nordic countries for economic, cultural, and political reasons. This book meets this interest by providing the first book-length look at the sociolinguistic side of English in the region, for advanced students and researchers in World/Global Englishes and Nordic/Scandinavian studies.
• Competition: Extant books in this space are either much more zoomed out in focus (World/Global Englishes, English as a lingua franca writ large; English or multilingualism in Europe), much more narrow in scope (e.g., English in higher education in a single specific Nordic country, or a different subject of concern (e.g., multilingualism in the Nordics). This is the first book to focus holistically on English in the Nordic countries.
