Abstract:

The definitive reference work on the dynamic and evolving field of
world Englishes
The Wiley Blackwell Encyclopedia of World Englishes is the first
resource of its kind, providing authoritative coverage of the spread
of English around the globe. Unparalleled in breadth and depth, this
comprehensive reference work covers the linguistic features of
geographical varieties of English worldwide and discusses critical
issues, cultural-political considerations, language debates, language
policies, and the sociolinguistic realities of English as an
international language.
Approximately 400 original entries—presented in an accessible style
and organized in an A to Z format—offer a comprehensive overview of
the field. Contributions by world-renowned scholars and practitioners
offer accessible definitions of foundational concepts, detailed
descriptions of recent theoretical and methodological approaches,
in-depth explorations of key issues and debates, and more. The entries
address a broad range of basic and advanced topics, from the
historical context and theories of world Englishes to cutting-edge
work on endangered languages, globalization, TESOL, and
translanguaging. This major reference work:
Brings together coverage of the theories, practices, and important
developments in the field of world Englishes
Offers timely discussion of current issues, innovative research, and
new approaches
Provides an invaluable source of reference for students and
researchers across many subfields of linguistics and in related fields
Includes short biographies of leading authorities in the field of
world Englishes
Features the contributions of a large team of international experts
with global views on world Englishes research
