ELF and the alternatives: comments on Ian MacKenzie’s “Topic & Comment” in JELF 2014; 3(2): 395–407

In his paper “ELF and the alternatives,” Ian MacKenzie considers a number of
options that are presently under discussion as possible alternatives to the use of
English as a Lingua Franca (ELF). Their scope includes translation (a short
section of two paragraphs only), code switching, receptive multilingualism,
and Esperanto. It is the presentation of the latter approach that I want to address
in this comment. As MacKenzie’s bibliography contains two articles of mine and
as these seem to be important sources on which the author bases his argumentation,
I suppose that I should react to his paper.
