The spread of English around the world has been and continues to be
both rapid and unpredictable. World Englishes: The Study of New
Linguistic Varieties deals with this inescapable result of
colonisation and globalisation from a social and linguistic
perspective. The main focus of the book is on the second-language
varieties of English that have developed in the former British
colonies of East and West Africa, the Caribbean, South and
South-East Asia. The book provides a historical overview of the
common circumstances that gave rise to these varieties, and a
detailed account of their recurrent similarities in structure,
patterns of usage, vocabulary and accents. Also discussed are
debates about language in education, the rise of English in China
and Western Europe, and other current developments in a world of
global travel and migration.
