As a result of colonization, many varieties of English now exist
around the world. Originally published in 2005, Legacies of
Colonial English brings together a team of internationally renowned
scholars to discuss the role of British dialects in both the
genesis and subsequent history of postcolonial Englishes.
Considering the input of Scottish, English and Irish dialects, they
closely examine a wide range of Englishes - including those in
North and South America, South Africa, Asia, Australia and New
Zealand - and explain why many of them still reflect non-standard
British usage from the distant past. Complete with a checklist of
dialect features, a detailed glossary and set of general references
on the topic of postcolonial Englishes, this book will be an
invaluable source to scholars and students of English language and
linguistics, particularly those interested in sociolinguistics,
historical linguistics and dialectology.
