Abstract:

An in-depth exploration of the sound systems of varieties of English
around the world, written by a renowned authority in the field

In Sounds of English Worldwide, Raymond Hickey delivers a rigorous
overview of the sound systems of varieties of English throughout the
world. Beginning with an overview of the history and contexts of
global varieties of English, this book guides readers through the
spread of English during the colonial era leading up to the present
day. The second section of the book broadly considers developments in
the English-speaking world, accounting for the factors that triggered
regional changes and resulted in diverse scenarios for English,
including language contact and shift, new dialect formation , and the
use of English in non-anglophone contexts.

To assist students in learning how to approach the study of varieties
of English, this valuable text addresses research questions of general
interest to linguists and explores a variety of fieldwork methods
commonly used by researchers in the area. This useful book offers:

A thorough introduction to English today, including its geographical
and social distribution, focusing on variation and change around the
world
Practical discussions of key changes in late modern English that
determined the unique phonetic profile of different varieties of the
language
In-depth examination of present-day scenarios and how they might pan
out in the future development of English, considering the many factors
which may shape global forms of the language
Includes useful summaries of varieties of English with a glossary and
timeline, providing a quick reference of the key features of English
around the world for students
Considers research issues and methods to aid students in applying the
material of the book to their own studies
Perfect for graduate students, advanced undergraduate students, and
researchers studying varieties of Englishes, Sounds of English
Worldwide will earn a place in the libraries of linguists and students
studying Englishes worldwide from a sociolinguistic perspective as
well as langague contact , bilingualism, the rise of new varieties
along with English phonetics and phonology more generally.
