English for Specific Purposes (ESP) discourses largely involve participants from different linguistic backgrounds in terms of their regional, economic, and sociocultural settings. Moreover, due to the globalisation of trade and commerce across international borders, professional practices invariably involve multiperspective interactions and negotiations across a range of participants interacting with speakers of English as a second or foreign language. However, although ESP targets speakers of languages other than English, it has often been driven by native speakers’ use of English in specific academic and professional contexts. Drawing on some of the key insights from critical genre theory, I would like to give more substance to this aspect of ESP and argue for a shift in the paradigm towards world Englishes for Specific Purposes (WESP).

特定用途的世界英语：多视角

特定用途英语 (ESP) 话语在很大程度上涉及来自不同语言背景的参与者，这些背景来自其区域、经济和社会文化背景。此外，由于跨境贸易和商业的全球化，专业实践不可避免地涉及与以英语为第二语言或外语的人互动的一系列参与者的多视角互动和谈判。然而，尽管 ESP 针对的是英语以外的其他语言的使用者，但它通常是由母语人士在特定的学术和专业环境中使用英语所驱动的。借鉴批判体裁理论的一些关键见解，我想为 ESP 的这一方面提供更多实质内容，并主张将范式转向世界特定用途英语 (WESP)。
