<br>
</b>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.<br>
<br>
Yamuna Kachru is professor emerita of linguistics at the University of
Illinois at Urbana-Champaign. Cecil L. Nelson is an associate
professor of linguistics at Indiana State University.<br>

<font size="-2">Quotes:<br>
"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<br>
<br>
"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<br>
<br>
"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</font></font><br>
