Drawing on different research methodologies, including corpus linguistics, elicitation techniques, and interviews, chapters analyse a variety of naturalistic data and text types, such as online language, narratives, political speeches and literary works. Examining both the cultural conceptualisations underlying the use of figurative language and the linguistic-cultural specificity of metaphor and its variation, the studies are presented in contexts of both language contact and second language usage.

World Englishes are not simply language variants, but reflections of rich, sophisticated, local worldviews defined by metaphor. * Zoltán Kövecses, Professor Emeritus, Eötvös Loránd University, Hungary *\u003cbr\u003eThis volume is an exciting contribution to the fast-growing field of cognitive-cultural approaches to world Englishes. The reader opens a treasure box of theoretical reflections, critical methodological advances, profound cultural insights, and a wide-ranging spectrum of innovative topics from Englishes around the world. * Hans-Georg Wolf, Chair Professor, Dean of the Faculty of Arts, The University of Potsdam, Germany *\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eList of Contributors 1.
