Summary:

Les contribucions que recull aquest volum descriuen, des de perspectives multidisciplinars, la utilització de l'anglès com a fenomen global/local en contextos acadèmics. En particular, el volum pren com a referent l'ús de l'idioma en un petit 'microcosmos' universitari i interpreta des de diferents punts de vista teòrics la construcció d'identitats socials i la negociació de significats entre els membres d'aquesta comunitat acadèmica.
