Abstract:

Diasporic populations offer unique opportunities for the study of language
variation and change. This volume is the first collection of sociolinguistic
studies of English use across the historically complex and widely dispersed
Indian diaspora. The contributions describe particular sociohistorical
contexts (the UK, Fiji, South Africa, Singapore, and the Caribbean) and then
use this rich empirical base to examine diverse questions in theory and
method, such as the extent to which different settings see different or
similar linguistic outcomes; the role of community structures, transnational
ties, attitudes, and identity; reasons for differing rates of change,
adaptation, and focussing; and the relevance of endonormative stabilization of
Asian Englishes. These themes do not simply further our understandings of
diaspora. They can ultimately feed into wider theoretical questions in
language contact studies, including universals, selection and adaptation of
traits, and interactions between social contact, identity, and language
change.
