📄 Correction: From world Englishes to Hyperlingua: English as infrastructural governance in Jordan and the Middle East

Summary

This document is not a research article. It is a short correction notice from Frontiers in Communication about the authors' earlier paper "From world Englishes to Hyperlingua" (article 1,800,770). That paper treats English as a form of infrastructural governance in Jordan and the wider Middle East. Its keywords include bureaucratic bilingualism, Englishisation, higher education governance and multilingual justice. The notice fixes one bibliography entry, Pangrazio et al. (2024), which had the wrong title and an incomplete author list. The DOI was already correct. The corrected entry adds O'Mara as the final author and replaces the earlier title with the real one, which begins "Data justice in education" and has a research-agenda subtitle. The publisher states that the original article has been updated. The notice contains no data, method, experiment or new findings, so it matters only for keeping citations accurate. Anyone citing the main paper should consult the updated version.

Key points

• The notice has its own DOI, 10.3389/fcomm.2026.1871589. It corrects Front. Commun. 11:1800770 (doi 10.3389/fcomm.2026.1800770).
• All three authors are from the Department of English Language and Literature at The University of Jordan. Ke Zhang (Shandong University) edited and reviewed it.
• Only one reference changed: Pangrazio et al., 2024, in Educational Philosophy and Theory, pp. 1–12.
• The DOI 10.1080/00131857.2024.2320196 was the same in both versions. Only the title and author list were wrong.
• Timeline: received 3 May 2026, accepted 14 May 2026, published 29 May 2026.

Interesting ideas

• I1. The persistent identifier (the DOI) was right while the human-readable title and authors had drifted, so treating the ID as the anchor and checking metadata against it is a cheap way to catch such errors.
• I2. The fix was published as a separate, dated record that points to the original, and the original was then updated, so the history of the mistake stays visible.
• I3. The erratum states the wrong version and the right version side by side, which makes the change easy to audit.

For Mova

How these ideas could serve Mova, our small open language model — its files, stages and tests:

• I1 (world): Knowledge-graph entries imported from Wikidata or WordNet could be keyed strictly by their stable IDs, with labels re-verified against the source, so a wrong label is caught instead of silently spreading.
• I2 (learn): Corrections to silver data or repair rules could be stored as linked, timestamped errata rather than silent overwrites, so any change in evaluation can be traced to the exact correction that caused it.
• I3 (learn): Self-induced repair rules could log the faulty tree fragment next to the repaired one, giving a clear, explainable diff that can also be reused as a negative-control example.
