Undergraduate CoreRecenzii
"I have used the third edition of this book in my World Englishes class for years, and I look forward to using the fourth, which provides the latest updates on research and recent developments on the ground in varieties of English, including discussion and examples of even more varieties such as Spanish and Arabic English. Students appreciate the accessibility of the text: clear and comprehensible writing, a glossary, and numerous examples both in the text and in supplemental online recordings to exemplify their points. I appreciate the tools for teaching, including focus and review questions, and references for further reading which students use in their projects. We all appreciate the breadth of coverage, and the fourth edition is the most comprehensive World Englishes text out there. Shaw and Sundqvist cover every aspect of formal linguistics, providing the background necessary to use linguistic terms accurately, while also not neglecting history, geography, and sociolinguistics. The fourth edition of this textbook provides everything a student and instructor would want"

"A most welcome update of a well-established textbook: The 4th edition of World Englishes maintains the perfect balance between comprehensive coverage and accessibity that has made this introduction so popular and brings it up to date on the lastest developments in English as a Lingua Franca and variational pragmatics."
