English as a Lingua Franca in Migrants’ Trauma Narratives “Providing a positive counterbalance to the current anti-immigration rhetoric which is so prevalent, Guido’s research offers pertinent insight into English as a Lingua Franca being used in high stakes communicative acts where power imbalances are acute, and will make substantial contribution to the field.” —Haynes Collins, Associate Professor of Intercultural Studies, University of Leeds, UK “This book deserves high commendation not only because of its conceptual originality but also because this yields an exceptionally insightful analysis, which, far from being simply an academic exercise, addresses socio-political and moral issues of immediate urgency. It is an excellent example of what applied linguistics should be.” —Henry Widdowson, Honorary Professor of English Linguistics, University of Vienna, Austria, and Emeritus Professor of Education, University of London, UK

To Myself And I … now see that noble and most sovereign reason Like sweet bells jangled, out of tune and harsh; That unmatched form and feature of blown youth Blasted with ecstasy. Oh, woe is me, T’ have seen what I have seen, see what I see! (W. Shakespeare, Hamlet, III, 1)
