"The book offers a wealth of material, especially in establishing the theoretical foundations for a broad range of fields in the study of World Englishes." (Journal of Sociolinguistics, January 2009) "The volume is a remarkable work of scholarship and provides a real wealth of data and ideas, which, I am sure, will stimulate further research." (World Englishes, 2008) "[This] book offers a wealth of material, especially in establishing the theoretical foundations for a broad range of fields in the study of World Englishes... A useful addition to the Blackwell Handbooks in Linguistics series, and as such it will probably be much valued by many students and scholars around the world." (Journal of Sociolinguistics, February 2009) "A fascinating selection of papers that comprehensively cover a wide range of topics... The volume is a remarkable work of scholarship and provides a real wealth of data and ideas, which, I am sure, will stimulate further research." (World Englishes, February 2009) "The editors of The handbook of World Englishes... have produced a book that is, certainly, a milestone in the study of World Englishes." (Journal of Linguistics, February 2009) "[The title] has a nice blend of chapters that are primarily devoted to review of literature and synthesis of theoretical and methodological approaches... The volume will be of interest to anyone working in English linguistics." (English World-Wide, February 2009) "The appetite of many language scholars and students will be satiated with this collection of papers devoted to the exploration of 'World Englishes' ... .[The book] displays for the most part: accessibility; authority; contemporaneity and interdisciplinarity." (Language Policy, August 2007) "A milestone in the study of World Englishes." (Linguistics)

The Handbook of World Englishes is a collection of newly commissioned articles focusing on selected critical dimensions and case studies of the theoretical, ideological, applied and pedagogical issues related to English as it is spoken around the world. * Represents the cross-cultural and international contextualization of the English language * Articulates the visions of scholars from major varieties of world Englishes - African, Asian, European, and North and South American * Discusses topics including 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; the place of English in language policies and language planning; and debates about English as a cause of language death, murder and suicide.
