Abstract:

The plural form 'Englishes' conveys the diversity of English as a global
language, pinpointing the growth and existence of a large number of national,
regional and social forms. The global spread of English and the new varieties
that have emerged around the world has grown to be a vast area of study and
research, which intersects multiple disciplines. This Handbook provides a
comprehensive and authoritative survey of World Englishes from 1600 to the
present day. Covering topics such as variationist sociolinguistics,
pragmatics, contact linguistics, linguistic anthropology, corpus- and applied
linguistics and language history, it combines discussion of traditional topics
with a variety of innovative approaches. The chapters, all written by
internationally acclaimed authorities, provide up-to-date discussions of the
evolution of different Englishes around the globe, a comprehensive coverage of
different models and approaches, and some original perspectives on current
challenges.
