Book excerpt: This book provides the first examination of sociolinguistic competence and the acquisition of native-like variability in an English as a Lingua Franca (ELF) context. It presents data from email exchanges between Swiss speakers (with German, French and Italian mother tongues) to allow for a greater understanding of which features of discourse are source language-related and which are learning-related.
