description: Over the years since first publication in 1982, International English has established its place as the only text which gives a good overview of the linguistics characteristics of varieties of English around the world. In order to keep up with research that has been conducted over the past 6years, the authors have completely reworked and rewritten their chapter on the Caribbean/ The book now also includes a new chapter on "lesser-known Englishes" covering those varieties spoken in such places as the Channel Islands, Bermuda, and the Bahamas as well as African countries such as Botswanaand Namibia. This new material, coupled with a thorough updating of the remaining text and references ensures that the book will remain a favourite and indispensable resource for teachers and students for many years to come.
