  • Summary

    This chapter describes the theoretical foundations of the study. The study is located at the interface of two scientific areas that had not had much contact before: Conversation Analysis and World Englishes. In the first two sections of the chapter, central theoretical and methodological tenets in both fields are introduced. The last section addresses epistemological differences between the traditions and provides a rationale for why and how Conversation Analysis and World Englishes can still be reconciled in a fruitful way.

  • The plural form 'Englishes' conveys the diversity of English as a global language, pinpointing the growth and existence of a large number of national, regional and social forms. The global spread of English and the new varieties that have emerged around the world has grown to be a vast area of study and research, which intersects multiple disciplines. This Handbook provides a comprehensive and authoritative survey of World Englishes from 1600 to the present day. Covering topics such as variationist sociolinguistics, pragmatics, contact linguistics, linguistic anthropology, corpus- and applied linguistics and language history, it combines discussion of traditional topics with a variety of innovative approaches. The chapters, all written by internationally acclaimed authorities, provide up-to-date discussions of the evolution of different Englishes around the globe, a comprehensive coverage of different models and approaches, and some original perspectives on current challenges.
