Pressezitat
'A clear, accessible and well-written guide to the major Englishes of the globe, keeping pace with developments in the field, embracing newly described varieties, yet concise and focussed - the essential starting point for students of varieties of English.'David Britain, University of Bern, Switzerland
'Ever wonder how English differs from place to place? From the UK to the US, South Africa and Fiji, readers will learn local pronunciations, word choices (gumboots vs. wellingtons), grammatical differences (got vs. gotten), and politeness techniques (thanks vs. please). It's like taking a trip around the world!'
Sali A. Tagliamonte, University of Toronto, Canada
'This slim volume contains an impressive amount of detail about different forms of English as used around the world. ... Overall, this is an excellent, compact resource with a price which reflects the research it contains.'
Val Hamilton, Freelance reviewer, Nethy Bridge, UK
