>> *This book is the first comprehensive treatment of the spread, 
>> acculturation, functions, and evolution of English in Asia. It 
>> discusses all major issues resulting from the introduction of English 
>> in culturally different contexts and the two-way interaction of 
>> English and local languages in Asia. It also includes an extensive 
>> bibliography representing both pedagogical and theoretical works, and 
>> lists of additional resources in world English literatures and select 
>> websites. This book provides essential reading for students, 
>> researchers and professionals in English studies and world Englishes.

>> Quotes:
>> "Succinctly describes an astoundingly wide range of theoretical and 
>> pedagogical themes. ?A remarkable contribution to our better 
>> understanding of two major characteristics of contemporary English: 
>> internationalization (diffusion) and diversification (adaptation)." - 
>> Nobuyuki Honna, Aoyama Gakuin University
>>
>> "One of the most comprehensive works that identifies and recognizes 
>> the phenomenon of Asian Englishes in the global context of World 
>> Englishes. Written in an eminently readable style, the book leaves us 
>> much richer in our understanding of the structures and functions of 
>> Asian Englishes and state-of-the-art in linguistic and sociolinguistic 
>> theory and practices." - Ravinder Gargesh, University of Delhi
>>
>> "Doubly useful as a reference on Asian Englishes and as a general 
>> introduction to the world Englishes approach, this book offers 
>> up-to-date coverage of an area that is now home to the largest number 
>> of English users in the world. Innovative and engaging chapters treat 
>> theoretical, educational, and research issues." - Daniel R. Davis, 
>> University of Michigan, Dearborn
