A comprehensive overview of variation in World Englishes, analysing a wide spectrum of English varieties and registers around the globe. It is essential reading for students and researchers in World Englishes, corpus linguistics, sociolinguistics and applied linguistics.
World Englishes is one of the most active fields of present day linguistic research. This book provides a comprehensive overview of variation in English across the globe, by analysing a large corpus of texts from the English speaking world. The analysis draws on a larger number of individual texts and linguistic features than previous studies have done. It includes a systematic comparison of the influence of register and national variety on variation in English world-wide, and explores patterns of variation in both qualitative and quantitative terms. The results provide a testing ground for theoretical models, and highlight the importance of register in mediating linguistic differences across national varieties.
