in today’s world, English is in contact (to greater or
lesser degrees) with most languages and societies around the
globe, with the results of that contact varying from
location to location, depending on both the linguistic and
the socio-cultural factors of the particular local context.<span

style="font-size:11.0pt">Central Europe may be a concept
that is difficult to pin down geographically and
politically, since it is in some cases defined by historical
roots (despite differences in 20th-century social and
political developments), while other conceptualisations
build specifically on more recent commonalities of
experience (in the last 50-100 years). <span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>At the same time the
concept remains in use precisely because it is a useful one,
in that it captures an area with some common socio-cultural
traditions that in many ways create a recognizable milieu
and a feeling of familiarity. <span
style="mso-spacerun:yes"> </span>This can extend to the
manner in which English is received and welcomed, as a means
not only of communication but also of participation in the
global culture.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>
