Abstract
This article examines the influence of English on Vietnamese in the context of globalisation, with particular attention to lexical borrowing, code-switching, digital discourse, and language attitudes. Grounded in contact linguistics, sociolinguistic theory, and language ideology studies, the paper uses a qualitative design that combines naturalistic observation of public and digital language practices with a systematic review of recent scholarship on English-Vietnamese contact. The analysis shows that English influence is most visible in the lexical domain, especially in technology, education, business, and popular culture. English-Vietnamese code-switching is also widespread in youth-oriented and digitally mediated communication, where it serves pragmatic functions such as emphasis, brevity, and topic framing, as well as social functions such as identity performance and in-group solidarity. Syntactic and phonological influences appear more limited and register-specific, although Englishinfluenced discourse markers, passive constructions, and loanword pronunciation patterns are increasingly noticeable among proficient bilingual users. The study further indicates that attitudes toward English influence remain ambivalent: younger speakers often treat bilingual hybridity as a sign of modernity and global identity, while purist concerns persist in public and institutional discourse. The paper concludes with implications for Vietnamese language policy and English education.
This study examines the influence of Global English on the Azerbaijani language from a sociolinguistic and language-policy perspective. Rather than presenting undocumented survey or corpus findings, it adopts a qualitative documentary method that integrates research on Global Englishes, English as a lingua franca, Azerbaijani lexicology, terminology development, and official language-policy discourse. A purposive set of established and frequently discussed English-origin lexical items is used to illustrate historical routes of transfer, particularly the contrast between earlier Russian-mediated borrowing and more recent direct contact with English. The analysis identifies four interconnected tendencies: adaptation to Azerbaijani orthographic and phonological patterns; concentration of borrowings in internationally connected domains such as sport, technology, business, media, and education; variation between necessary terminology and prestige-driven duplication; and the simultaneous operation of English as both a source of lexical pressure and a resource for intercultural participation. The study argues that lexical borrowing is neither evidence of linguistic poverty nor a process that should be accepted without regulation. A sustainable policy should distinguish internationally established terminology from unnecessary replacement of transparent Azerbaijani equivalents, strengthen terminological coordination, and support high-quality Azerbaijani digital resources. The Azerbaijani case demonstrates that language protection and global multilingual participation can be treated as complementary rather than mutually exclusive goals.

This study explores the role of media linguistics in shaping the linguistic norms of contemporary mass media in Kazakhstan, an area that remains insufficiently examined in relation to bilingual media practices, genre variation, and digital communication platforms. It focuses on the influence of global communication trends, digital technologies, and national language policy on linguistic change. The research examines the introduction of English-language borrowings, their adaptation in Kazakh and Russian, and the modification of traditional linguistic structures. These shifts are driven by the widespread use of English-language platforms such as social media (Facebook, Instagram, Telegram), streaming services, and international content formats. The findings show that English loanwords are most common in advertising and news, where there is a need for rapid adaptation to global trends. In contrast, analytical and official publications adhere to traditional linguistic norms, highlighting a balance between formal and informal communication. The study also emphasizes the importance of Kazakhstan’s national language policy in preserving linguistic identity, with measures regulating foreign words in the media to develop sustainable language standards. Digital technologies also shape informal media discourse through memes, hashtags, and hybrid language forms. These changes are particularly evident among younger audiences, who adapt more quickly to language innovations, while older generations tend to be more critical of these shifts. In conclusion, media linguistics proves to be an effective tool for analyzing the intersection of globalization, national identity, and digital transformation, offering valuable insights into the adaptation of linguistic norms amid rapid technological development.

This article examines the intricate relationship between bilingualism and identity construction, with a particular focus on the Pakistani sociolinguistic context. Drawing on an extensive review of existing literature and an analytical case study of the Hindi film English Vinglish (2012), the article argues that bilingualism, far from being a purely linguistic phenomenon, is deeply embedded in the social, political, and psychological fabric of a speaker's identity. In Pakistan's tri-lingual structure, where speakers navigate between vernacular regional languages, Urdu as the national language, and English as the official language of power, identity construction becomes a site of contest, negotiation, and crisis. The article demonstrates how the hierarchical valuation of languages engenders issues of prestige, shame, and loyalty that determine not only linguistic choices but also social mobility and self-perception. The case study of English Vinglish, though a Hindi film, illustrates these dynamics in the South Asian context by tracing the protagonist's journey from identity crisis to self-actualization. The article concludes by advocating an acceptance-based framework for bilingual identity that acknowledges the compound, rather than conflicting, nature of bilingual selfhood.

India represents one of the most linguistically diverse nations in the world, making it a rich site for sociolinguistic
inquiry. This paper explores multilingual India from a sociolinguistic perspective, examining the dynamic interaction
between language, society, and identity. With constitutionally recognized languages and hundreds of regional and tribal
varieties, India exemplifies complex patterns of bilingualism, multilingualism, code-switching, and diglossia. The coexistence
of languages such as Hindi, English, Tamil, Bengali, and Gujarati reflects not only linguistic plurality but also historical,
political, and cultural negotiations.
The study analyses how language functions as a marker of regional identity, social stratification, education, and
mobility. It highlights the role of English as a link language and a symbol of global capital, alongside the emotional and
cultural significance of mother tongues. The paper also discusses language policy, constitutional provisions, and educational
frameworks that seek to balance national integration with linguistic diversity. Sociolinguistic phenomena such as language
shift, language maintenance, and linguistic hybridity in urban spaces are examined to understand contemporary
transformations.
By situating Indian multilingualism within broader linguistic theories, the paper underscores how India challenges
monolingual paradigms and enriches the field of linguistics with empirical complexity. Ultimately, multilingual India
demonstrates that linguistic diversity is not merely a communicative resource but a foundational element of social structure,
cultural continuity, and democratic expression.

This systematic review examines the linguistic and sociolinguistic characteristics of Philippine English (PhE) based on studies published from 2019 to 2026. Guided by research questions focusing on the phonological, lexical-semantic, and grammatical-syntactic features of PhE, as well as its sociolinguistic attitudes and functional roles in education, communication, and media, the study reviewed fifteen scholarly articles from credible academic databases and repositories. Findings reveal that PhE has developed into a legitimate and systematic variety of English shaped by local linguistic and cultural influences. Phonological studies identified recurring consonant substitutions, vowel mergers, and lectal variations influenced by regional and proficiency differences. Lexical-semantic features demonstrated linguistic creativity through borrowing, blending, clipping, compounding, and semantic shifts, particularly in digital communication contexts. Grammatical-syntactic analyses also revealed flexible subject–verb agreement, simplified tense marking, and localized sentence structures that reflect communicative adaptation rather than linguistic deficiency. Sociolinguistically, PhE is increasingly recognized as a marker of Filipino identity and communicative accessibility; however, native-speaker norms continue to dominate formal academic settings. The findings affirm that PhE is an evolving, rule-governed, and culturally grounded variety whose acceptance continues to expand across different social domains in the Philippines.

This study examines the emergence of localized English expressions in Indonesian social media discourse, highlighting how English is adapted and reinterpreted in multilingual digital contexts. While previous studies on English in Indonesia have primarily focused on formal domains such as education and language policy, limited attention has been given to informal online communication where linguistic innovation is highly visible. This study aims to analyze how English lexical items are re-semanticized and creatively transformed by Indonesian users on social media platforms. The study employed a qualitative approach using data collected from Instagram posts and comments, focusing on selected examples of English-derived expressions such as boba, gas, voucher, server, and suamiable. The analysis compares the conventional meanings of these terms in Inner Circle English with their localized meanings in Indonesian usage. The findings reveal that English functions as a flexible linguistic resource, undergoing processes of semantic shift, metaphorical extension, and lexical blending. These localized forms reflect users’ creativity as well as their ability to adapt global linguistic resources to local cultural contexts. The study concludes that English in Indonesian social media is not merely borrowed but actively reconstructed, contributing to the dynamic development of English in the Expanding Circle.
