The plural form 'Englishes' conveys the diversity of English as a
global language, pinpointing the growth and existence of a large
number of national, regional and social forms. The global spread of
English and the new varieties that have emerged around the world
has grown to be a vast area of study and research, which intersects
multiple disciplines. This Handbook provides a comprehensive and
authoritative survey of World Englishes from 1600 to the present
day. Covering topics such as variationist sociolinguistics,
pragmatics, contact linguistics, linguistic anthropology, corpus-
and applied linguistics and language history, it combines
discussion of traditional topics with a variety of innovative
approaches. The chapters, all written by internationally acclaimed
authorities, provide up-to-date discussions of the evolution of
different Englishes around the globe, a comprehensive coverage of
different models and approaches, and some original perspectives on
current challenges.
