by Sven (Technische Universitat Dresden) Leuckert, Claudia (Technische Universitat Dresden) Lange, Tobias (Justus-Liebig-Universitat Giessen, Germany) Bernaisch, Asya (Technische Universitat Chemnitz, Germany) Yurchenko
Part of the Elements in World Englishes series
Hardback
Description
English fulfils important intra- and international functions in 21st century India.
However, the country's size in terms of area, population, and linguistic diversity means that completely uniform developments in Indian English (IndE) are unlikely.
Using sophisticated corpus-linguistic and statistical methods, this Element explores the unity and diversity of IndE by providing studies of selected lexical and morphosyntactic features that characterise Indian English(es) in the 21st century.
The findings indicate a degree of incipient 'supralocalisation', i.e. a spread of features beyond their place of origin, cutting through the typological Indo-Aryan vs.
Dravidian divide.
