Book Synopsis


Trade Review
"An important book. . . . The Other Tongue should prove of great value to linguists, literary scholars, teachers of English as a foreign/second language, language policy planners, and users of 'nativized' Englishes."--Robert Kaplan, Applied Linguistics
"An important volume for any teacher of English who is confronted with a variety of localized forms of English, or who is interested in the complex nature and development of the language we use and teach. It not only provides a shock of recognition; it presents the teacher with a clear way to analyze the uses of English that may obtain in a polydialectal classroom."--Alan C. Purves, College of English
"Valuable for teachers who want to look that little bit further into relating language in the classroom to what goes on outside."--John Norrish, ELT Journal
