Recenzii
This is a book that university departments of English and/or linguistics in Africa and the whole world should find invaluable in providing a comprehensive, user-friendly, and up-to-date guide to an African outer circle variety of English. It eloquently and intelligently navigates the variety's structural homogeneity and heterogeneity, and contextualizes its functions across the socio-political spectrum in both public and private spaces in Kenya, thereby broadening the reader's understanding of the sociolinguistics of English as a global language.
It is my pleasure to endorse the book Kenyan English: Domains of Use, Forms, and Users' Attitudes by Martha M. Michieka and Evans Gesura Mecha. I would first comment about the author Martha M. Michieka since I have seen her talk about Kenyan English and African Englishes in general in various academic conferences. Her presentations on issues surrounding African Englishes and advocacy for the recognition of these varieties as distinct from the British English, the parent language, are interesting and thought-provoking. In this book, Martha Michieka and Evans Gesura Mecha explore the structure, development, and use of the English variety spoken in Kenya. The chapters argue for the existence of a Kenyan variety of English that came into being from the legacies of the British colonialism. This book is a must-read for anyone who is interested in understanding the influence of the colonial languages on language policy and language choice in Africa.
This book is an enlightening read and a great resource for anyone working on indigenous languages and Englishes of the world. Drawing on varied theoretical and philosophical insights from several empirical sites, the God sent authors in this volume creatively explore the distinct nature of Kenyan English, from the perspective of its unique concepts, rules of engagement, regional variations, structural character and patterns of use in such domains as education, the church, the mass media, politics, urban and rural settings. The book provides a powerful lens for examining, understanding, and moving forward the significant, but rarely appreciated, discussions about the use of and existing elements of linguistic (dis)similarity between Kenyan English and other Englishes, more so, the standard British English. As an educator and Applied linguist, I enjoyed reading this amazing text and would most sincerely encourage every educator, language expert, political scientist, policy maker, and scholar of any standing to read it and share it with everyone everywhere in the world!
This is a long awaited update on the linguistic ecology of English in Kenya, including educational contexts but also the media, religion, and private domains. The volume will sit nicely on the shelf of everyone interested in East African Englishes and in scholarship originating from within the Kenyan English user community.
A timely and insightful book on Kenyan English that informs the reader on the uniqueness of Kenyan English through carefully researched contributions. The chapters in the book are data driven allowing the reader to have a good understanding of what characterizes the Kenyan English variety. The chapters assembled by a diverse group of both scholars and language practitioners provide a much-needed resource for students of language, policy makers, and curriculum designers.
