Abstract:

This volume provides the first-ever comprehensive analysis of a potential
variety of English, spoken in the Greek part of the Mediterranean island of
Cyprus. Despite the fact that Cyprus was a British colony from 1878 to 1960,
the status of the English language spoken there has not yet been discussed
systematically within the framework of World Englishes. To determine whether
English in Cyprus has second-language variety status or should rather be
considered as learner English, the monograph investigates its historical,
sociopolitical and sociolinguistic background and, drawing on a corpus of
spoken data, offers a synchronic analysis of linguistic features. The results
suggest to rethink some of the well-established taxonomies of World Englishes
research, especially those that strictly differentiate between second-language
varieties and learner Englishes. This renders the book relevant not only to
scholars working in the field of World Englishes but also to second language
acquisition researchers.
