Abstract:

English fulfils important intra- and international functions in 21st
century India. However, the country's size in terms of area,
population, and linguistic diversity means that completely uniform
developments in Indian English (IndE) are unlikely. Using
sophisticated corpus-linguistic and statistical methods, this Element
explores the unity and diversity of IndE by providing studies of
selected lexical and morphosyntactic features that characterise Indian
English(es) in the 21st century. The findings indicate a degree of
incipient 'supralocalisation', i.e. a spread of features beyond their
place of origin, cutting through the typological Indo-Aryan vs.
Dravidian divide.
