Original account of the spread and diversification of postcolonial English worldwide.

Of key interest to sociolinguists, dialectologists, historical linguists and syntacticians alike, this book provides a fascinating new picture of the growth and evolution of English around the globe.

This new multimedia textbook covers the phonology, morphology and syntax of varieties of English in the Americas and the Caribbean. It is accompanied by an interactive CD-ROM.

Like its predecessor, it will prove an indispensable reference book. The collection is in four parts, dealing respectively with general studies, Britain and Ireland, the United States and Canada, and the rest of the world.

This text is an introduction to world Englishes, describing varieties used in a wide range of countries worldwide, and setting them within their historical and social contexts.

The chapters in this innovative book introduce the quantitative analysis of linguistic survey data with specific reference to the Linguistic Atlas of the Middle and South Atlantic States (LAMSAS).

Die Arbeit will durch eine linguistische Analyse und Interpretation der Slave Narratives des Federal Writers' Project die Diskussion um die Diachronie des Black English auf eine breitere empirische Basis stellen.
