These range from Scotland to New Zealand, from Canada to South Africa, covering all the major forms of the English language around the world. Central to the volume is the question of how genuine written representations are. Here the emphasis is on the techniques and methodology which can be employed when analysing documents. The vernacular styles found in written documents and the use of these as a window on earlier spoken modes of different varieties represent a focal concern of the book. Studies of language in literature, which were offered in the past, have been revisited and their findings reassessed in the light of recent advances in variationist linguistics. 410 0$aVarieties of English around the world ;$vG41. 606 $aEnglish language$xWritten English 606 $aEnglish language$xVariation 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 606 $aEnglish language$xHistory 615 0$aEnglish language$xWritten English. 615 0$aEnglish language$xVariation. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects. 615 0$aEnglish language$xHistory. 676 $a427.009 701 $aHickey$b Raymond$f1954-$0176031 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910966814303321 996 $aVarieties of English in writing$94344415 997 $aUNINA
