This is a substantial study of the forms and usages of English in Asia and of issues raised by the ongoing development in Asia of distinctive non-native forms of the language. The author's considerable and at times provocative scholarship is well peppered with wit. A major yet accessible contribution to linguistic study. With annotations, bibliography and index.
