Abstract:
As the most widely documented language in human history, English holds a
unique key to unlocking some of the mysteries of the uniquely human endowment
of language. Yet the field of World Englishes has remained somewhat marginal
in linguistic theory. This collection heralds a more direct and mutually
constructive engagement with current linguistic theories, questions, and
methodologies. It achieves this through areal overviews, theoretical chapters,
and case studies. The 36 articles are divided between four themes:
Foundations, World Englishes and Linguistic Theory, Areal Profiles, and Case
Studies. Part I sets out the complex history of the global spread of English.
This is followed, in Part II, by chapters addressing the mutual relevance and
importance of World Englishes and numerous theoretical subfields of
Linguistics. Part III offers detailed accounts of the structure and social
histories of specific varieties of English spoken across the globe,
highlighting points of theoretical interest. The collection closes with a set
of case studies that exemplify the type of analysis encouraged by the volume.
As attention is focused on innovative work at the interface of dialect
description and theoretical explanation, the book is more succinct in its
treatment of applied themes, which are given complementary coverage in other
works.
