The book's ecological perspective offers a fresh theoretical
framework for analysing both outer- and inner-circle Englishes. It
investigates the varieties of English spoken as a second language,
by bi- or multilingual speakers in South Africa, India, Singapore,
Hong Kong and the Philippines, and by some lesser-known oceanic
varieties in Micronesia and Polynesia, revealing the remarkable
divergences in the use of common English elements across
geographical distances. Tapping into current debates about colonial
legacies and decolonization, as well as ongoing concerns about
democracy, regional power and globalisation, this book explores a
range of fresh evidence to discuss language variation across the
globe.
