Abstract:

The spread and globalisation of English has proved to be of interest in the
study of diverse linguistic phenomena. From a methodological perspective, the
study of Englishes poses a number of challenges, and attempts have been made
to address these in corpus linguistics, sociolinguistic fieldwork and
variationist studies. As such, this volume contributes to this increasingly
fashionable, but still somewhat under-explored field of research by drawing
together ideas from different frameworks and approaches dealing with English
today.

The different chapters reflect current trends in English linguistics research,
and can be characterized broadly in terms of the study of the different
diatopic and diastratic varieties of English, and the adoption of various
theoretical and methodological perspectives. The chapters deal with the
globalisation of English in itself and with the origin, development and status
of varieties of English, often seen as a testing ground for different research
traditions, including typological linguistics, second language acquisition,
contact linguistics and sociolinguistics.
