In order to keep up with research that has been conducted over the past 6 years, the authors have completely reworked and rewritten their chapter on the Caribbean. The book now also includes a new chapter on "lesser-known Englishes" covering those varieties spoken in such places as the Channel Islands, Bermuda, and the Bahamas as well as African countries such as Botswana and Namibia. This new material, coupled with a thorough updating of the remaining text and references ensures that the book will remain a favorite and indispensible resource for teachers and students for many years to come.
