cover all main national standard varieties, distinctive regional, ethnic, and social varieties, major contact varieties, as well as major ESL varieties;

serve as state-of-the-art reports on major issues in current research.

The handbook is an indispensable reference work and research tool for sociolinguists, dialectologists, phonologists, grammarians, typologists, and specialists in contact languages and varieties of English around the world. It is also ideally suited not only for professional academics but also for undergraduate and graduate students.

Reviews

"These state-of-the-art volumes are a magnificent testimony to the incredible amount of research which has been carried out in the last quarter century on variation in English around the world. The editors should be heartily congratulated [...]"
David Britain in: Journal of Linguistics 3/2007

"The editors have set their sights high - and managed to achieve them admirably. [...] this is the kind of reference work that comes along maybe once in a generation, and will revolutionize the ways in which we and our students can work with the English language."
Monika S. Schmid in: Linguist List 16.1740

"The handbook marks a milestone in the field of English linguistics."
Holger Diessel in: Zeitschrift für Sprachwissenschaft 11/2006

"This impressive reference presents the most up-to-date findings on the phonology (v.1), morphology, and syntax (v.2) for 60 varieties of English, including national standard; regional, ethnic, and social; pidgins and creoles; and the major English as a second language varieties of the British Isles, Americas and Caribbean, Pacific and Australasia, Africa, and South and Southeast Asia."
