English in new cultural contexts

"English in New Cultural Contexts: Reflections from Singapore explores the spread of English as a world language and the different ways in which the language has developed and adapted in new sociocultural contexts. Using recent research findings based on language corpora and new theoretical developments, the book examines various aspects of the New Varieties of English. Specific reference to Singapore is made to illustrate the example of a country which seems to be moving from Kachru's (1985) Outer Circle' to the 'Inner Circle'."--Jacket.
