Overview

"This collection of papers is devoted to general problems of English and its varieties. It starts with principal questions as to what can be regarded as ""English"", and looks at specific features of emigrant Englishes and the value of individual features as evidence for linguistic geography. The book traces the functional range of Scots through its history, considers whether the term ""Celtic Englishes"" used in Britain and Ireland is justifiable, investigates the forms and functions of English in South Africa and Nigeria, surveys dictionaries of varieties of English, and discusses whether pidgin and creole languages need different types of dictionaries."
