It is a well-written, engaging, informative, and detailed account ofEnglish both at home and abroad and belongs on the bookshelf of every student of linguistics. I think that the detailed glossary is brilliant and the addition of "talking points" and exercises makes it an ideal introductory text to the field." --Dr Robert Lawson, School of English, Birmingham City University, UK "While it has retained its structure, its accessibility, and user-friedly layout, the second edition with its many additions and emendations takes Melchers & Shaw again to the premier league of introductions to World Englishes. Especially praiseworthy are its expansive treatment of lingua-franca English, the growing importance of computer-mediated communication for the globalization of English, and the role of a (potential) Euro-English. The added glossary and the extra sound files (now availabe on the accompanying website) are now additional assets." --Professor Dr G nther Lampert, Department of English and Linguistics, Johannes Gutenberg-Universit t, Germany "While it has retained its structure, its accessibility, and user-friedly layout, the second edition with its many additions and emendations takes Melchers & Shaw again to the premier league of introductions to World Englishes.
