The Handbook ‚Varieties of English‘ is by far the most thorough reference work on phonology and the first-ever comprehensive overview of the morphology and syntax of varieties of English in the world.
Survey Articles
The books feature descriptive survey articles that are authored by widely acclaimed specialists in the field and that
- cover all main national standard varieties, distinctive regional, ethnic, and social varieties, major contact varieties, as well as major ESL varieties;
- share a common core, which makes them invaluable research tools for cross-linguistic comparisons;
- provide information on the historical and cultural backgrounds as well as the current sociolinguistic situations in the respective regions;
- serve as state-of-the-art reports on major issues in current research.
The handbook is an indispensable reference work and research tool for sociolinguists, dialectologists, phonologists, grammarians, typologists, and specialists in contact languages and varieties of English around the world. It is also ideally suited not only for professional academics but also for undergraduate and graduate students.
