Indian English is a second language to most of its speakers. In its 400-year history it has acquired its own character, yet still looks to native varieties of English for norms. The complex nature of Indian English, which is not really a monolithic entity, is discussed in this book. The book also makes a distinction between what are considered to be standard and non-standard varieties, and provides an overview of the salient features. Indian English includes: *A discussion of the sociolinguistic and cultural factors *The history of the establishment of English in India, bringing it up to modern times *A description of the linguistic aspects: phonetics and phonology, lexical, discourse and morphosyntactic features *Samples of written English from a range of contexts *Samples of speech *An annotated bibliography divided according to topic. 410 0$aDialects of English. 606 $aEnglish language$xDialects$zIndia 606 $aEnglish language$zIndia 615 0$aEnglish language$xDialects 615 0$aEnglish language 676 $a427.954 700 $aSailaja$b P$g(Pingali),$f1962-$01484686 801 0$bUkCbUP 801 1$bUkCbUP 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782998403321 996 $aIndian English$93703464 997 $aUNINA
