Reihe: Routledge Studies in World Englishes

In this book, leading scholars in the field of World Englishes (WE) offer fresh perspectives in re-thinking issues on the use of English as a global language in an interconnected world. Established as a legitimate field of study, WE offers a conceptual framework which has influenced scholarship in many related disciplines: Contact Linguistics, Post-Colonial Englishes, English as a Lingua Franca, English as an International Language, Applied Linguistics, and Critical Applied Linguistics. This seminal volume will have an excellent balance between theoretical and empirical works focusing on scholarship that has arisen in relation to the Kachruvian three-concentric-circle model.

This book covers topics such as state-of-the-art review of WE, WE and variation linguistics, WE and contact linguistics, post-colonial Englishes, English as a lingua franca, English as an international language, WE and applied linguistics, language measurement and testing in WE, language policy and management, language education and dynamic ecologies, language typology, WE as a new canon, WE and corpus linguistics, WE and multimodalities, and makes predictions about the future of WE. It will contain a comprehensive and up-to-date bibliography of works published in the field.
