The book aims to recognize or reject English in Kenya as a new,
emancipated variety of English developing in a multilingual
environment of permanent language contact. It discusses in detail
the sociolinguistic situation in contemporary Kenya based on
Labov's extra-linguistic parameters and the results of a customized
survey carried out by the author in Kenya. Furthermore, it
identifies and describes characteristic stylistic, lexical,
morphological and syntactic features of English in Kenya on the
basis of the International Corpus of English (ICE). The theoretical
framework employs Schneider's Dynamic Model of Postcolonial
Englishes and an effort is made to put the amount of variation
found in the ICE into a wider context of other varieties of English
around the world.
