World Englishes - Bog

In this book, leading scholars in the field of World Englishesoffer 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, Post-Colonial Englishes, English as a Lingua Franca, English as an International Language, Applied Linguistics, and Critical 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-circle model.
