The Evolution of Englishes : The Dynamic Model and beyond PDF
Edited by Buschfeld Sarah Buschfeld, Hoffmann Thomas Hoffmann, Huber Magnus Huber, Kautzsch Alexander Kautzsch
Part of the Varieties of English Around the World series
Description
This two-part volume provides a collection of 27 linguistic studies and contributions that shed light on the evolution of different Englishes world-wide (varieties, learner Englishes, dialects, creoles) from a broad spectrum of different perspectives, including both synchronic and diachronic approaches.
What makes the volume unique is that it is the first-ever contribution to the field which includes a section exclusively commited towards testing, discussing and refining Schneider's (2007) Dynamic Model against recent realities of English world-wide (Part 1).
These realities include a wide variety of case studies ranging from regions (socio)linguistically as diverse as South Africa, the Phillipines, Cyprus or Germany.
Part 2 goes beyond the Dynamic Model and offers both empirical and theoretical perspectives on the evolution of World Englishes.
In doing so, it provides contributions with a theoretical focus on the topic as well as cross-varietal accounts; it sheds light on individual Englishes from different geographical regions and offers new perspectives on "old" varieties.
