English is a highly diversified language that appears in a multitude
of different varieties across the globe. These varieties may differ
extensively in their structural properties. This coursebook is an
introduction to the fascinating range of regional and social varieties
encountered around the world. Comparing grammatical phenomena, the
book analyses the varieties in depth, identifying patterns and limits
of variation, and providing clear explanations. Using comparisons with
other languages, the book identifies universal as well as
language-specific aspects of variation in English. This book is
specially designed to meet the needs of students, each chapter
contains useful exercises targeted at three different ability levels
and succinct summaries and practical lists of key words help students
to review and identify important facts.
