The global spread of English and the new varieties that have emerged around the world has grown to be a vast area of study and research, which intersects multiple disciplines. This Handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of World Englishes from 1600 to the present day. Covering topics such as variationist sociolinguistics, pragmatics, contact linguistics, linguistic anthropology, corpus- and applied linguistics and language history, it combines discussion of traditional topics with a variety of innovative approaches. The chapters, all written by internationally acclaimed authorities, provide up-to-date discussions of the evolution of different Englishes around the globe, a comprehensive coverage of different models and approaches, and some original perspectives on current challenges.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ GARDNERS","offer_id":50698435428625,"sku":"NGR9781108441957","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ VERY_GOOD \/ INTERNAL","offer_id":50796468502801,"sku":"GOR014076058","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"US \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":51020093358353,"sku":"NIN9781108441957","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false},{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52530430869777,"sku":"NLS9781108441957","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/1108441955.jpg?v=1751048958"},{"product_id":"postcolonial-english-book-edgar-schneider-9780521539012","title":"Postcolonial English","description":"The global spread of English has resulted in the emergence of a diverse range of postcolonial varieties around the world.

Das Pr mienvolumen des deutschen Marktes betr gt heute schon fast DM 400 Mio. Angesichts eines immer noch wachsenden Transportmarktes und insbesondere im Hinblick auf die Liberalisierung des G terverkehrs in Europa ist von einer weiteren  ber- durchschnittlichen Zunahme in dieser Sparte auszugehen. Die vorhandene Literatur ist relativ sp rlich und beschr nkt sich weitgehend auf Einzel- darstellungen. Diese L cke durch einen Gesamtabri  zu schlie en, ist Aufgabe dieses Bu- ches. Eine Darstellung der Verkehrshaftungs-Versicherung ist ohne eine  bersicht der Haf- tungsgrundlagen nicht m glich. Auf diese komplizierte Rechtsmaterie wird allerdings nur insoweit eingegangen, wie dies zum Verst ndnis der Versicherungsfragen erforderlich ist. Eine Auseinandersetzung mit schwierigen Rechtsfragen wurde daher bewu t vermie- den. Im Zweifel wird die herrschende Meinung wiedergegeben, die in der Regel mit der Regulierungspraxis der Verkehrshaftungs-Versicherer  bereinstimmt. Das Buch wendet sich in erster Linie an die Praxis, d. h. an alle Sachbearbeiter und Aus- zubildenden, die in Versicherungs-Gesellschaften, Transportunternehmen sowie in Han- del und Industrie im Bereich der Transport- und Verkehrshaftungs-Versicherung t tig sind, aber auch an Juristen und Anw lte, die beruflich an dieser komplexen Materie der Verkehrs haftungs-Versicherung interessiert sind.
