English Around the World Sociolinguistic Perspectives

This volume is intended to give a comprehensive account of our current knowledge of variation in the use of the English language around the world. Overview papers, written by specialist authors, survey the social context in which English is spoken in those parts of the world where it is widely used. Case study papers then provide representative examples of the empirical research that has been carried out into the English that is spoken in that part of the world.Cheshire, Jenny is the author of 'English Around the World Sociolinguistic Perspectives' with ISBN 9780521395656 and ISBN 0521395658.
