- More about World Englishes: The Local Lives of a Global Language
World Englishes explores the history, social forces, and variation of English, highlighting competing perspectives and the politics and ethics of its dominance as a global language.
Format: Paperback / softback
Length: 288 pages
Publication date: 31 December 2023
Publisher: Edinburgh University Press
World Englishes is a comprehensive exploration of the recent history of English, encompassing the social forces that shape the language, including contact, use, acquisition, and attitudes, and the resulting variation in the language. It highlights the ongoing interactions among people that constrain diversification while also acknowledging the ongoing diversifying nature of English across space, time, and contexts of use. The book presents multiple perspectives on English, including those of English settlers, enslaved or economically marginalized people, colonial subjects, global citizens, and contemporary migrants and digital netizens. It critically examines the politics and ethics of English as a dominant global language today and offers insights into its future.
