	Sheffield Hallam Working Papers: Linguistic Politeness and Context
		We argue that for many British and American speakers informality is taken to be an indicator of ease of communication with strangers, and that there is often an attempt to move towards first name terms as quickly as possible.
		This ethnocentricism is ‘kept in place’ through being underpinned by neo-imperialism and a relatively new form of capital accumulation, political organisation and power relation termed ‘Empire’ by Hardt and Negri, to distinguish it from older forms of imperialism (Hardt and Negri, 2000).
		This is not to suggest that there is no solution, or indeed to pose intercultural communication as inherently problematic, but to suggest that intercultural communication is one where great tact and thoughtfulness need to be brought into play in order to be able to understand the parameters within which naming strategies are interpreted.

	Sample Chapter for Esty, J.: A Shrinking Island: Modernism and National Culture in England.
		The first step in historicizing the Anglocentric turn as something other than a pretext for bad art (and bad politics) is to remember that, for some influential English writers, the end of empire entailed a metaphorical repair of the social divides that had conditioned modernism's aesthetics of failure and fragmentation.
		As a transitional generation, they cut their Anglocentrism with international ideas: Eliot's investment in the unity of European Christendom, Keynes's commitment to global monetary regulation, and Woolf's and Forster's persistent liberal cosmopolitanism (combined with sexual and gender dissidence from official forms of national culture).
		The Anglocentric logic of early Cultural Studies should, in other words, be read in terms of the limits imposed by postimperial conditions in England rather than in terms of humanist failings on the part of certain native intellectuals.

	WowEssays.com - Gulliver's Supposed English Superiority
		The long paragraph, in which he describes his encounter with the Yahoos as well as the circumstances leading up to it, illustrates the climax of his Anglocentric views, after which his English pride begins to gradually degenerate and his desire to emulate the Houyhnyms arises.
		He describes their shapes as “Singular and deformed….their Skins were of a brown Buff colour.” Perhaps one reason Gulliver does not initially see any resemblance between himself and the Yahoos is because they are not white; perhaps his Anglocentric ideal does not permit any color but white to be acknowledged as his equal.
		Gulliver was taught, in an Anglocentric society, to believe that bodily functions are embarrassing and shameful.

		This was partly because the dominant scholarship in India since the 1970s, being overly self-conscious about the specific line which the CPI took on Pakistan in the 1940s, could not decide whether to challenge or to reinforce the Anglocentric dichotomy.

		Why don't we go up a notch in quality from Anglocentric encyclopedias and show enough respect to at least make an effort to list places and people by their proper native spelling and have english variations redirect there as necessary?
		Over on the Esperanto wikipedia we tend to prefer original-language forms for personal names (with Romanization where necessary) in large part because Esperantized forms of general-subject names are often not standardized and rarely used.
		Its kinda dumb that you are using original-language forms on your section and yet you can't tolerate having the English section do the same.

	The Great Wall of African American Vernacular English in the American College Classroom (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		A second factor in the Anglocentrism of early twentieth-century American linguistics was that, until the 1930s, linguistic primacy was accorded to written, literary forms of language, not to speech.
		Gullah was described as 'Elizabethan' or 'Jacobean' for the same reason that so many commentators called fl usages 'Elizabethan' or 'Chaucerian' and for the very same reason that other commentators labeled southern Appalachian speech in the same way: these writers knew their classics, especially sixteenth-century literature.
		It is equally difficult not to notice that the Anglocentric disposition of those early linguistic geographers still prevails in today's dictionary representations of etymologies of American English words.

		This was in no small part due to the fact that what he was trying to achieve and the manner in which his people subsequently interpreted it were actually quite different.

		Indirectly, he urges the export of the Anglocentric values to the rest of the world by a dominant America, providing the philosophical basis to the New Imperialism to keep peace in the world, as the British Empire did in the 19

	The Hindu : Allah Baksh versus Savarkar
		Anglocentric writings, which were tied to British foreign policy and strategic objectives and continued to exercise influence in the South Asian former colonies, suffered from a dichotomy with respect to Indian nationalism.
		Since many of the contrary voices, like those of Allah Baksh, represented the unifying tendency within India, their muffling has fed Hindutva.
		Savarkar's portrait now occupies the space created partly by this Anglocentric elimination.

	A Synthesis of Scholarship in Multicultural Education
		A November 1993 special edition of the same magazine explored the effects of immigration on the "changing face of America." Diversity of race, culture, ethnicity, social class, religion, language, and national origin is a fundamental feature of interpersonal interactions and community structures.
		Another illustration of the predominance of Anglocentric, middleclass culture is that the significant power positions in politics and economics tend to be held by people from this cultural background.
		To endorse multicultural education is not to imply that the entire education system should be destroyed or that the Anglocentric cultural dominance existing in schooling should merely be replaced with the dominance of other ethnic cultures; neither is it to deny the need for a common national culture.

		I have also stated - and will state again - that Hooper's incapability of appreciating the significance of cultural transmission has thrust him within a realm where he cannot apply the transformative values of social circumstances within and beyond the field to facilitate team creativity.
		Expressed alternatively, the Hooper culture has not been appropriated from the genius of collective improvisation which defined the culture of resistance that underpinned his predecessors' strategies.His culture is an arrangement deeply embedded in, and suffused by, explicit preferences for a paradigm constrained within an epistemology paraded in the name of Anglocentric fundamentalism and orthodoxy.

		All together this locks the discourse and studies on popular music together in an iron cage of anglocentrism.

		Historians have recently been encouraged to consider ways of writing a history of Britain or the British Isles which is not simply English history in disguise.
		In practice, however, their emphasis is firmly Anglocentric, if not simply English, with Scotland, Ireland, and Wales discussed only when developments there are deemed to have had a direct impact on England.
		For the early modern period, this perspective is no doubt firmly grounded in the surviving sources.
