This book provides a first systematic and comprehensive account of
English in East and South Asia (EESA) based on current research by
scholars in the field. It has several unique features. Firstly, it
provides a rigorous theoretical overview that is necessary for the
understanding of EESA in relation to the burgeoning works on World
Englishes as a discipline. Secondly, in the section on linguistic
features, a systematic template was made available to the
contributors so that linguistic coverage of the variety/varieties
is similar. Thirdly, the vibrancy of the sociolinguistic and
pragmatic realities that govern actual English in use in a wide
variety of domains such as social media, the Internet and popular
culture/music are discussed. Finally, this volume includes an
extensive bibliography of works on EESA, thus providing a useful
and valuable resource for language researchers, linguists,
classroom educators, policymakers and anyone interested in the
topic of EESA or World Englishes. This volume hopes to advance
understanding of the spread and development of the different
sub-varieties reflecting both the political developments and
cultural norms in the region.

In this book, leading scholars in the field of World Englishes (WE)
offer fresh perspectives in re-thinking issues on the use of
English as a global language in an interconnected world.
Established as a legitimate field of study, WE offers a conceptual
framework which has influenced scholarship in many related
disciplines: contact linguistics, postcolonial Englishes, English
as a lingua franca, English as an international language, and
applied linguistics. This seminal volume will have an excellent
balance between theoretical and empirical works focusing on
scholarship that has arisen in relation to the Kachruvian Three
Concentric Circles model. This book covers topics such as
state-of-the-art review of WE, WE and contact linguistics,
post-colonial Englishes, English as a Lingua Franca, English as an
International Language, WE and applied linguistics, language
measurement and testing in WE, language policy and management,
language education and dynamic ecologies, language typology, WE as
a new canon, WE and corpus linguistics, WE and multimodalities, and
makes predictions about the future of WE. It contains a
comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography of major works published
in the field.
