Overview

"The end result is a book that, while valuable to the specialist, should also be accessible and appealing to the non-specialist, and covers a vast spread of ""Englishes"" from Brummie, Cockney, Estuary, and RP in the UK to New York and New Orleans speech in the US and such other varieties as Indian English, Maori English and West African Pidgin."
