<i>Bloomsbury</i> <i>World Englishes</i> provides a modern variationist approach to research in Englishes that shifts from traditional descriptive research on formal nation state varieties and recognizes the breadth of variation within any community of speech. It celebrates variation and offers a more accurate understanding of these ever-changing languages that serves distinct and overlapping communities.

Elizabeth Winkler, Professor of Linguistics, Western Kentucky University, USA

As well as being discipline-leading in its perspective on [World English], the articles in this series are written in a way that does not confine the delights inside to a readership of academic linguists. Many individuals interested in World English for a variety of reasons will find these volumes accessible without being inundated by linguistic jargon. At the same time, the compendium should be of interest to those teaching courses that are dedicated to, or touch upon, the concept of English as a global language and the consequences thereof.

- Grant Howie, The University of the West of England, UK, Modern Language Review

Bloomsbury World Englishes offers a comprehensive and rigorous description of the facts, implications and contentious issues regarding the forms and functions of English in the world. International experts cover a diverse range of varieties and topics, offering a more accurate understanding of English across the globe and the various social contexts in which it plays a significant role. With volumes dedicated to research paradigms, language ideologies and pedagogies, the collection pushes the boundaries of the field to go beyond traditional descriptive paradigms and contribute to moving research agendas forward.

Volume 2: Ideologies explores the politics and economics of English, and the impact of language on local societies and cultures. In doing so, chapters discuss how English is often entangled in societal issues, such as inequality, (de-)colonization, racism, oppression and liberation.
