520 1 $a"World Englishes provides an overview of the global variation in vocabulary, grammar, phonology and pragmatics of English around the world, with lively recordings on the accompanying CD. World Englishes includes an introduction to the principles of linguistic variation and sections on the roots of English (including Scots), the spread of English, varieties of English as a second language, English as a foreign language and future trends. Political issues are raised, but there is no evangelizing as different stances are accounted for. All technical terms that are used are explained clearly, and the book is illustrated throughout with fascinating examples of English taken from fiction, popular culture, and newspapers. The discussion is informed by the latest research, and the CD, sold separately, includes speakers from New Zealand, the Shetland Islands and Cameroon, as well as many others."--Jacket.
