Winner of the 2020 ESSE Book Award in English Language and Linguistics, Lexical Innovation in World Englishes is a groundbreaking contribution to the study of World Englishes. By delving into the lexical developments of selected English varieties and exploring their potential for cross-fertilization, this book offers valuable insights into the evolving nature of the English language across the globe.
Approaching the topic from a theoretical and empirical standpoint, the book discusses and problematizes various categorizations of English varieties and the processes of word formation. It considers the expansion of English across different regions and cultures, highlighting the intricate interplay between language change and social factors. Through the use of authentic examples drawn from language corpora, the book provides a detailed understanding of the transformations and reciprocal influences of these English varieties from a lexical perspective.
The primary objective of the book is to validate general considerations on the lexical features of these diverse English varieties and test them through the analysis of corpora. Eight empirical case studies are included to illustrate the importance of investigating lexical developments and to demonstrate how they can reveal the evolution of a variety while advocating for a broader discursive and sociological perspective.
Lexical Innovation in World Englishes is an essential resource for postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of World Englishes and language varieties. It provides a comprehensive and up-to-date examination of the latest research and developments in the field, offering valuable insights into the complex and dynamic nature of the English language.
