The Oxford Guide to World English by Tom Mcarthur

The Oxford Guide to World English by Tom Mcarthur

This is a survey of English both as a pre-eminent world language and as an increasingly divergent language. Setting out to be accessible and appealing to the non-specialist, it covers a range of dialects and languages, including UK dialects, Spanglish, Jamaican Creole, Yinglish, Blue-eyed English, Chicano English, Maori English, and Bearer English. This book is intended for general readers, especially those interested in dialects and the history of world English; students of A-level English Language in the UK and first-year undergraduates internationally; academics concerned with international English; advanced foreign learners interested in developing an awareness of the differences in English around the world.

Tom McArthur is an independent writer, editor, consultant, and presenter, as well as the editor of English Today: the International Review of the English Language, a Cambridge University Press quarterly publication. He is the Deputy Director of the Dictionary Research Centre and an Honorary University Fellow at the University of Exeter, as well as the General Editor of R.R.K. Publishing.
