The Handbook represents the cross-cultural and international contextualization of the English language, and the contributions articulate the visions of scholars from major varieties of world Englishes - African, Asian, European, and North and South American. Topics discussed include: the sociolinguistic contexts of varieties of English in the inner, outer, and expanding circles of its users; the ranges of functional domains in which these varieties are used; attitude-marked love-hate relationships with the language; the place of English in language policies and language planning in Anglophone societies; and debates about English as a cause of language death, murder and suicide. This innovative and unique volume is a valuable resource for researchers and students of World Englishes. ER -
