Abstract:

English in Kenya is a stable post-colonial variety that is used as an
inter-ethnic lingua franca in private domains, is the medium of instruction as
well as the language spoken in parliament and court rooms. Yet so far no
comprehensive research monograph on Kenyan English has been published that
surveys its characteristic linguistic features. The present book closes this
gap by giving a full description of the characteristic linguistic features of
Kenyan English.

The book provides an in-depth overview of Kenyan English phonetics, phonology,
morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics and also gives a meticulous
account of the diachronic evolution of this post-colonial variety.
