The third edition of World Englishes provides an engaging overview
of the global variations in vocabulary, grammar, phonology and
pragmatics of English as it is used worldwide. This book introduces
the principles of linguistic variation and provides coverage on the
roots of English, the spread of English, variations of English as a
second language and trends for the future. Thoroughly updated
throughout in line with recent research, this third edition now
also includes: 43 audio examples of speakers of native (17) and of
non-native (26) English reflecting the global variety of the
language, available to download from

twenty-first century developing varieties including Chinese
English, Russian English and Vietnamese English; greater linguistic
detail on second-language English in many areas; improved and
updated descriptions of first-language varieties; a new framework
for describing lexical variation; full discussion throughout of
English in social media. Offering a thorough and detailed
descriptive account of all the main varieties of English across the
globe, World Englishes provides a balanced discussion of political
issues and the sociolinguistic background to variation in English
spoken and written, face-to-face, on paper and online, in the
twenty-first century. This book is essential reading for students
