Call for Papers

World Englishes
Edited by Tometro Hopkins, Florida International University.

Continuum is delighted to announce the forthcoming publication of World
Englishes, a twelve-volume reference set presenting a comprehensive,
detailed survey of English as it is spoken all over the world.

The volumes, covering all the regions of the world, celebrate English in
all its diversity, and contain chapters on every variety of English,
written by experts in the field. Chapters cover:

- Demographic data
- Geographical position
- Historical background
- Socio-cultural and linguistic background
- Linguistic description of the components of the grammar
- English usage within the region
- Social, political and economic impact of English within the region
- Future implications

The World Englishes volumes are at an advanced stage, and more than fifty
internationally renowned scholars from many different countries have
already contributed to these volumes.

We are also soliciting for additional contributors who would be interested
in writing a 5,000 to 8,000 word chapter on a variety of English in which
they are a specialist.

If you would be interested in contributing to this reference set, or for
more information, please contact:
