After a brief overview of the current research, five non-standard varieties from all over the world, ranging from a traditional dialect to pidgins and creoles, are analyzed in two morphosyntactic and two phonological features. The theoretical approaches are discussed with reference to the features, providing recommendations for or advice against certain explanatory models. Finally, Bybee's usage-based functionalist approach and the usage-based synthesis 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zCommonwealth countries 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$zEnglish-speaking countries 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 676 $a427 700 $aWeber$b Tobias$0871021 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910464048403321 996 $aPrinciples in the emergence and evolution of linguistic features in World Englishes$91944459 997 $aUNINA
