The Politics of Englishes Today
Redaktion: Tupas, R.

• Format: PDF

Produktbeschreibung

This book proposes, examines and unpacks the notion of unequal Englishes as a way to understand English today. Unlike many studies on the pluralization of English, the volume assumes that inequalities and Englishes are inextricably linked and must be understood and theorized together.

Rezensionen

"The volume engages its readers to consider and weigh the challenges faced by a wide range of users of English in their everyday lives, in their workplaces, education or social lives. ... The editors have succeeded in making the volume cohesive and well-balanced, having aptly divided the contributions into 4 subthemes that interconnect subtly with the title of the volume." (Paula Prescod, The Linguist List, linguistlist.org, June, 2016)
