In her postulation of English as a Lingua Franca, and inspired by Bhabha’s (1994) notion of the “Third Space,” Kramsch’s (1993a) third culture or third place (1993b), and Rampton’s (1995) “liminality/crossings,” Jennifer Jenkins (2006b) opted for a lingua franca third space in an attempt to de-foreignize English.

The process of decentering English is a resourceful venture already initiated by Jacque Derrida’s pronouncement about the myth of the centre, and Michele Foucault’s assertion of the death of Man as well as the death of the ‘king’.
