The book's chapters supply descriptions of Jamaican English in Toronto, English as an L2 in a South African mining township, Chinese and English contact in Singapore, unexpected, emergent variants in Canadian English, and innovations in the English of West Virginia. Further, the book offers some perspective on internet English as well as on abiding uniformities in the lexicon and grammar of standard varieties. In the analyses of this heterogeneous growth such considerations as speakers' sociolinguistic profiles, phonological, morpho-syntactic, and lexical variables, frequencies, and typological patterns provide ample insight in the current status of English both in oral and electronic communities. The opening chapter presents a theoretical framework that argues for linguistic typology as conceptually resourceful in accommodating techniques of analysis and in distinguishing the wide arrays of English found throughout the globe. One clear function for Faces of English is that of a catalyst: to spur studies of diversities in English (and in other languages), to suggest approaches to adapt, to invite counterargument and developments in analysis. 410 0$aTopics in English linguistics ;$vVolume 87.1. 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation$vCongresses 610 $aEnglish. 610 $aHeterogeneity. 610 $aSociolinguistics. 610 $aTypology. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation 676 $a420 702 $aGreen$b Eugene 702 $aMeyer$b Charles F. 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910817020303321 996 $aThe variability of current world Englishes$94054131 997 $aUNINA
