Abstract
Like other Englishes, Ugandan English is not a homogeneous variety. Being a second language to the vast majority
of its multilingual speakers, it is, inevitably, influenced by their first languages. However, first language influence is just
one factor that continues to shape Ugandan English. This paper reports on how influence from exonormative teaching models and the
effects of migration, which constantly results in frequent and regular contact between second language speakers of various first
languages, contribute to its architecture. It does so by focusing on and carefully investigating future time expressions in a
corpus of authentic spoken interactions across Ugandans, the face-to-face conversations of the Uganda component of the
International Corpus of English.
期刊介绍：
English World-Wide has established itself as the leading and most comprehensive journal dealing with varieties of English. The focus is on scholarly discussions of new findings in the dialectology and sociolinguistics of the English-speaking communities (native and second-language speakers), but general problems of sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism and modern historical sociolinguistics are included if they have a direct bearing on modern varieties of English. Although teaching problems are normally excluded, English World-Wide provides important background information for all those involved in teaching English throughout the world.
