Routledge English Language Introductions cover core areas of
language study and are one-stop resources for students. Assuming no
prior knowledge, books in the series offer an accessible overview
of the subject, with activities, study questions, sample analyses,
commentaries, and key readings - all in the same volume. The
innovative and flexible 'two-dimensional' structure is built around
four sections - introduction, development, exploration, and
extension - which offer self-contained stages for study. Each topic
can also be read across these sections, enabling the reader to
build gradually on the knowledge gained. Global Englishes, Third
Edition, previously published as World Englishes, has been
comprehensively revised and updated and provides an introduction to
the subject that is both accessible and comprehensive. Key features
of this best-selling textbook include: coverage of the major
historical, linguistic, and sociopolitical developments in the
English language from the start of the seventeenth century to the
present day exploration of the current debates in global Englishes,
relating to its uses as mother tongue in the US, UK, Antipodes, and
post-colonial language in Africa, South and Southeast Asia, and
lingua franca across the rest of the globe, with a new and
particularly strong emphasis on China a range of texts, data and
examples draw from emails, tweets and newspapers such as The New
York Times, China Daily and The Straits Times readings from key
scholars including Alastair Pennycook, Henry G. Widdowson and
Lesley Milroy activities that engage the reader by inviting them to
draw on their own experience and consider their orientation to the
particular topic in hand. Global Englishes, Third Edition provides
a dynamic and engaging introduction to this fascinating topic and
is essential reading for all students studying global Englishes,
English as a lingua franca, and the spread of English in the world
today.
