Abstract

The paper identifies certain features of English as the language of communication at a group discussion involving participants from many different linguistic backgrounds. Problems of accent, vocabulary, tone, impact and co-ordination are discussed. These subjectively derived factors are compared with survey and experimental evidence on EIC from AIT, particularly in the area of accent and intelligibility.
