World Englishes: A Critical Analysis

Abstract

World Englishes: A Critical Analysis analyzes the multifaceted nature of English in today's increasingly interconnected world. The book covers four major parts: History (Part One); Language (Part Two); Ideology (Part Three) and Pedagogy (Part Four) in addition to an introductory disclaimer as to why another book on World Englishes is needed. Combining theory and practice, the book deserves a serious scrutiny by those concerned with World Englishes—be they sociolinguists, discourse analysts, or ELT professionals.
