Reviews

Bloomsbury World Englishes provides a modern variationist approach to research in Englishes that shifts from traditional descriptive research on formal nation state varieties and recognizes the breadth of variation within any community of speech. It celebrates variation and offers a more accurate understanding of these ever-changing languages that serves distinct and overlapping communities. * Elizabeth Winkler, Professor of Linguistics, Western Kentucky University, USA *
