"Discussing key issues of current relevance and setting the tone for future research in world Englishes, this book provides new perspectives on the diverse realities of Englishes around the world. Written by an international team of established and renowned scholars, it is the inaugural volume in the new series Bloomsbury Advances in World Englishes, dedicated to advancing research in the field. Chapters discuss important topics in contemporary world Englishes research, including de-colonial approaches, emerging varieties in post-protectorates and international uses as communicative events to highlight the globalizing aspect of English as a semiotic code. The book also expands on cultural conceptualizations to investigate the connections between Englishes and localized cultural knowledge and ongoing changes and attitudes towards local forms in multilingual settings. Closing with an examination of how world Englishes and the use of English as a lingua franca could influence the future teaching of Englishes, Research Developments in World Englishes presents a detailed picture of contemporary research approaches and points the way towards exciting future directions"--

This book will tell all you need to know about British English spelling. It's a referente work intended for anyone interested in the English language, especially those who teach it, whatever the age or mother tongue of their students. It will be particularly useful to those wishing to produce well-designed materials for teaching initial literacy via phonics, for teaching English as a foreign or second language, and for teacher training. English spelling is notoriously complicated and difficult to learn; it is correctly described as much less regular and predictable than any other alphabetic orthography. However, there is more regularity in the English spelling system than is generally appreciated. This book provides, for the first time, a thorough account of the whole complex system. It does so by describing how phonemes relate to graphemes and vice versa, it enables searches for particular words, so that one can easily find, not the meanings or pronunciations of words, but the other words with which those with unusual phoneme-grapheme/grapheme phoneme correspondences keep company. Other unique features of this book include teacher-friendly lists of correspondences and various regularities not described by previous authorities, for example the strong tendency for the letter-name vowel phonemes (the names of the letters ) to be spelt with those single letters in non-final syllables.

This handbook of Old Germanic toponyms is a comprehen-sive collection of Germanic, possibly Germanic and non-Germanic geographical names of Magna Germania and the adjacent provinces. The selection of headwords is based on Hermann Reichert´s Lexikon der altgermanischen Namen (LaN). In the articles, the current state of research concer-ning the localization of the ancient places (, rivers, forests and mountains) and concerning the etymology and word for¬mation of the toponyms is documented and critically dis-cussed. Die vorliegende Monographie behandelt systematisch die altgermanischen Orts-, Fluss-, Wald- und Bergnamen bis einschließlich 600 n.Chr. sowie auch die ungermanischen Toponyme Germaniens; in den einzelnen Artikeln wird neben Lokalisierung und Kontext der mit den Toponymen bezeichneten Örtlichkeiten hauptsächlich die Etymologie der Toponyme selbst in Augenschein genommen und die verschiedenen Deutungsversuche der Namen kritisch beleuchtet. Dieser Band setzt somit die Reihe der Interpretationsbände zu Reichert´s Lexikon der altgermanischen Namen (2 Bde.) fort (zuletzt erschienen: Sitzmann / Grünzweig 2008, Die altgermanischen Ethnonyme - ein Handbuch zu ihrer Etymologie).Der vorliegende Band ist ein umfassendes etymologisches Handbuch der altgermanischen Toponyme sowie der unger-manischen Toponyme Germaniens, wofür als Grundlage das Lexikon der altgermanischen Namen (LaN) von Her-mann Reichert diente. Unter den alphabetisch angeordne-ten Lemmata werden die Belege mit Angabe der wichtigsten Lesarten sowie eine Kurzausführung zu Lokalisierung und Kontext gegeben. In den darauf folgenden etymologischen Kommentaren wurde versucht, einen forschungsgeschichtli-chen Überblick über die Literatur zu den jeweiligen Namen durch ein kritisches Referat der bisher geäußerten etymolo-gischen Deutungen mit Wertung nach Wahrscheinlichkeit zu geben.
