Although the volume concentrates largely on varieties of English used in the Indo-Pacific, the methods used and the concerns raised are applicable to all varieties of English. Corpora prove to be a flexible resource, not only for traditional foci of World Englishes research, such as morphosyntactic variation, but also for exploring traces of culture enregistered in language. World Englishes research should more carefully consider how the linguistic ecology contributes to the development of varieties of English.--Guyanne Wilson, University College London "English Language and Linguistics" Review Quote A fascinating, expert-studded collection taking its readers on an insightful trip along the shores of the Indian Ocean and the Western and South Pacific, offering a rare holistic view of the relevant Englishes by discussing language use and language structure against the specific closely intertwined ecological, cultural and societal contexts Promotional "Headline" Highlights the adaptability of English in contact with other languages, cultures and societies and in diverse regional habitats Description for Reader Highlights the adaptability of English in contact with other languages, cultures and societies and in diverse regional habitats Examines features of world Englishes in their sociocultural contexts, with studies on in South Africa, the Cocos Island, Singapore, Uganda, China, the Philippines, Micronesia, Australia, New Zealand Appraises lexical and constructional innovations in English Presents fresh empirical evidence to discuss language variation using data from text corpora, speech recordings, social surveys and interviews Brings together an international range of contributors from Hong Kong, Australia, New Zealand, Germany, Switzerland, Uganda and South Africa The books ecological perspective offers a fresh theoretical framework for analysing both outer- and inner-circle Englishes.
