Описание: This book documents and describes the lesser-known varieties of English which have been overlooked and understudied within the canon of English linguistics. The aim of this work is to spark further interest in systematic fieldwork and sociolinguistic documentation of minority Englishes in a postcolonial world.
Описание: This book unpacks ongoing debates on pluricentricity, an idea implicit to the study of World Englishes which considers differing standards or local norms in a language`s national varieties, with a focus on the emergent counter-perspective of "pluri-areality" as exemplified in the German language.

Описание:
The 'story' of English is continually re-told and re-written, as more and more people use the language and have a part in shaping the way it develops.
Varieties of Modern English
provides a critical introduction to the study of regional, social, gendered, context- and medium-related varieties of the language, and explores some of the debates concerning the role and impact of English in different parts of the world today.
Beginning by outlining the main types of variation in language, the book focuses on the link between language or dialect and the construction of both group and individual identities. Issues of identity are crucial to chapters on the roots of Modern English, on gender and English, on ethnicity and English and on English as an international language. As well as looking at a range of 'users' of the language, Davies also explores many of its 'uses' and modes, including the English of literary texts, advertising, newspaper reporting and commentary, political speeches, email and text messaging.
Written in a discursive, student-friendly style, the book also provides:
* A rich mix of illustrative material
* End-of-chapter Activities and related Comments at the end of the book
* Suggestions for further reading
Varieties of Modern English provides a thought-provoking overview of its subject and will be invaluable reading for students of English Language and Linguistics.
Описание: Much has been written on dialect formation through contact between dialects of the same language, but the question of what happens when closely related but linguistically discrete varieties come into contact with each other has largely been neglected. Here Robert McColl Millar sets out to redress this imbalance.
Описание: Presents an exploration of linguistic standards in non-dominant varieties and the discovery of the ways in which different language communities of non-dominant varieties reconcile their wish to express their national, social and personal identity via language with their desire to adhere to a common language.
Описание: English Accents and Dialects provides a unique introductory guide to the regional and social varieties of English spoken in the UK and Ireland.
