From the Back Cover

This volume discusses existing research and developing theory in the emerging field of Medical English as a Lingua Franca (MELF). As healthcare workers increasingly move across international borders, and as English serves as a default language of international communication in medicine, MELF interactions are a growing and increasingly global phenomena. This book asserts that MELF has the potential to considerably deepen our understanding of English as a Lingua Franca, in that it differs in several important ways from many domains of previous ELF research. This includes the extent to which regulatory forces impact upon language use, and the exceptionally high stakes nature of MELF communication.
