Trade Review
"The work of a leading scholar in the field, this volume is the most original work on this topic to be published in recent years. Wide-ranging and insightful, Prof van Rooy's book covers such topics as the history of world Englishes, Inner Circle and Outer Circle varieties, language contact, migration, and English on the Internet. One particular strength of this volume is the insight into the sociolinguistics of English as a global language, with reference to such processes as language transplantation, language contact, language shift, and the linguistic analysis of varieties of English." -Kingsley Bolton, Stockholm University
