  • sociolinguistics, including entries on social and regional variation, stylistic variation, and language and gender
  • the history of the English language from Old English to the present-day
  • the main varieties of English spoken around the world, covering the British isles, the Caribbean, North America, Africa, Asia, and Australasia
  • stylistics, literary language and English usage.
