It has been repeatedly noted in the literature that most world Englishes research focuses on Outer Circle countries, while studies on Expanding Circle countries, especially those in South America, Europe, and the Middle East, have been few and far between. Therefore, the main objective of this paper is to provide a sociolinguistic profile of English in Turkey, thereby contributing to the growing literature on Expanding Circle countries. In this sociolinguistic profile, following a brief description of the country, I present the users and uses of English in the Turkish context, as well as discuss the attitudes of Turkish language learners towards English.

土耳其英语

文献中已经多次指出，大多数世界英语研究都集中在外圈国家，而对扩展圈国家，尤其是南美，欧洲和中东的研究很少，而且相差甚远。因此，本文的主要目的是在土耳其提供英语的社会语言学概况，从而为扩展圈子国家中日益增长的文献做出贡献。在对这个国家进行简短的描述之后，我将以这种社会语言的概况介绍土耳其语环境中英语的使用者和使用情况，并讨论土耳其语言学习者对英语的态度。
