The Lexical Style of Indian English Newspapers.

Dubey, Vinod S.

World Englishes, v10 n1 p19-32 Spr 1991

Applies a functional perspective to examine aspects of lexical style in English-language Indian newspapers and to explore the dynamics of Indian nativization of English. Findings reveal that the sociocultural constraints of the native situation significantly affect lexicology, with variations influenced more by situations than by language competency.
