English is a highly diversified language that appears in a
multitude of different varieties across the globe. These varieties
may differ extensively in their structural properties. This
coursebook is an introduction to the fascinating range of regional
and social varieties encountered around the world. Comparing
grammatical phenomena, the book analyses the varieties in depth,
identifying patterns and limits of variation, and providing clear
explanations. Using comparisons with other languages, the book
identifies universal as well as language-specific aspects of
variation in English. This book is specially designed to meet the
needs of students, each chapter contains useful exercises targeted
at three different ability levels and succinct summaries and
practical lists of key words help students to review and identify
important facts.
