    Book, Oxford University Press, 2003

  • Description

    The Oxford Guide to World English takes up where its “mother book,” the Oxford Companion to the English Language, left off. The end result is a book that, while invaluable to the specialist, is accessible and appealing to the non-specialist, and covers a vast spread of “Englishes” from Brummie, Cockney, Estuary, and RP in the UK to New York and New Orleans speech in the US and such other varieties as Indian English, Maori English, and West African Pidgin.
