Product Description

Review

'Not English, but Englishes...Not parts of speech, but strategies of discourse...The last decade introduced us to these alternative perspectives. This volume begins the task of historicising them. It is a pioneering and provocative collection.' - Sylvia Adamson, University of Manchester, UK

'This book is quite innovative. It seeks to promulgate, and rightly so, the history of nonstandard varieties of English as contributing to our overall knowledge of the development of the language ... I can recommend this publication for those interested in English as well as Englishes.' - Alan S. Kaye, Multilingua


Product Description

This book explores the beliefs and approaches to the history of English showing how the standard English dialect is to the detriment of those which are non-standard or from other areas of the world.
