Abstract:

The English language as spoken in Namibia has virtually been overlooked in
most textbooks, handbooks, and surveys of varieties of English around the
world, or else has only been mentioned in passing. However, this variety of
English has recently attracted the attention of several researchers and the
present volume brings together most scholars actively involved in the research
on English in Namibia from various linguistic fields to present their current
research. It covers a wide range of linguistic issues, such as empirical
analyses on various levels of linguistic description and use, as well as the
application of diverse methodologies, from questionnaire surveys,
sociolinguistic interviews and focus group discussions, to corpus linguistics,
linguistic landscaping, and digital ethnography. This book represents the
first comprehensive collection of articles and in-depth discussions of this
emerging variety of World Englishes.
