Peer reviewedDissanayake, Wimal – World Englishes: Journal of English as an International and Intranational Language, 1985
Investigates how some South Asian novelists who use English as their chosen instrument of communication are seeking to "decolonize" English. They are trying to capture the deep structures and lineaments of national cultures in order to make English a more authentic vehicle for expressing the consciousness of the people. (Author/SED)
