Description
This is a survey of English both as a pre-eminent world language and as an increasingly divergent language. Setting out to be accessible and appealing to the non-specialist, it covers a range of dialects and languages, including UK dialects, Spanglish, Jamaican Creole, Yinglish, Blue-eyed English, Chicano English, Maori English, and Bearer English. This book is intended for general readers, especially those interested in dialects and the history of world English; students of A-level English Language in the UK and first-year undergraduates internationally; academics concerned with international English; advanced foreign learners interested in developing an awareness of the differences in English around the world.
