Abstract:

This monograph comprises eight papers, most of which originated as
presentations given at international conferences or guest
lectures. These papers deal with the problematic nature of English as
a global language, and discuss what makes texts authentic and reliable
for linguistic analysis, Scots in Ulster and in Scotland, forms and
functions of English in Southeast Asia, the spread of rhyming slang,
and varieties of ELT. The volume concludes with an annotated
bibliography of the most important publications devoted to varieties
of English around the world.
