| Sumario: | English coexists with Urdu as the official and national language of Pakistan. It also coexists with the provincial languages which are Punjabi, Pashto, Balochi, and Sindhi. This study analyzed the future of English in Pakistan considering that Pakistan cannot compete worldwide without it. The great majority of the population of Pakistan does not speak it, yet it has the status of national and official language in the country and the language of the elite, education, social media, research, and technology. This study also analyzed the linguistic features of this variety of English from lexical, morphological, and syntax perspectives, and its stages of standardization according to an adapted and integrated model of Amorós Negre (2008) and Nagore Laín (2018). This was done to find out what stages are necessary for the complete standardization of the Pakistani variety of the English language (PakE). The practical applications and contribution of this thesis are the documentation of the features of the Pakistani variety of English (PAKE), the steps necessary for the standardization of PAKE, and the recommendations given to the linguists and government of Pakistan for the future of the variety. |
