Cultural Conceptualisations in Stories of Māori-English Bilinguals: The Cultural Schema of marae

Abstract

This chapter is an attempt to move beyond the formal features approach that has been largely employed in the paradigm of World English. The intent is that of showing how, in addition to phonological, morphological, syntactic and grammatical features characterizing varieties of English, semantic considerations could also help shed light on the specifications of individual varieties as well as on differences and similarities among them.
