Abstract:

The global spread of English has had widespread linguistic, social and cultural 
implications, affecting the lives of millions of people around the world. This 
textbook provides a lively and accessible introduction to world Englishes, 
describing varieties used in places as broad-ranging as America, Jamaica, 
Australia, Africa and Asia, and setting them within their historical and social 
contexts. Students are guided through the material with chapter previews and 
summaries, maps, timelines, lists of key terms, discussion questions and 
exercises, and a comprehensive glossary, helping them to understand, analyse 
and compare different varieties of English, and apply descriptive terminology. 
The book is accompanied by a useful web site, containing textual and audio 
examples of the varieties introduced in the text, and links to related sources of 
interest. Providing essential knowledge and skills for those embarking on the 
study of world Englishes, this is set to become the leading introduction to the 
subject.
