Rezensionen

'I thoroughly recommend the third edition of this excellent introductory textbook on World Englishes. The new edition comes with an expanded set of speaker interviews, adding, for example, speakers from Cork in Ireland to Uganda. This allows readers and listeners to make comparisons between the different varieties of English illustrated here. It is written in an extremely accessible style and will be of great value to undergraduate students of the subject.'
