The Mouton World Atlas of Variation in English

__The Mouton World Atlas of Variation in English__ (WAVE) presents grammatical variation in spontaneous spoken English, mapping 235 features in 48 varieties of English (traditional dialects, high-contact mother tongue Englishes, and indiginized second-language Englishes) and 26 English-based Pidgins and Creoles in eight Anglophone world regions (Africa, Asia, Australia, British Isles, the Caribbean, North America, the Pacific, and the South Atlantic). The analyses of the 74 varieties are based on descriptive materials, naturalistic corpus data, and native speaker knowledge. * WAVE is unique in its coverage of variation in English: The number of grammatical features and the number of varieties covered exceeds those treated in any previous publication on the topic * The Atlas serves as an indispensable research tool for specialists in many different fields of linguistics, including pidgin and creole studies, dialectology, microsyntactic variation, language change, language typology, sociolinguistics, second language acquisition, the study of World Englishes, and learner Englishes * The Atlas offers perspectivizing accounts of the 74 data sets as well as large-scale comparisons across the individual variety types and Anglophone world regions * Maps are complemented by extensive text chapters written by the major experts in the respective fields * Very attractive combination with the open access resource eWAVE: extensive supplementary materials are available at [www.ewave-atlas.org](http://www.ewave-atlas.org) * Complements the Handbook of __Varieties of English__ Table of contents Abbreviations of the WAVE varieties List of maps List of maps sorted by features List of phenetic networks Introduction Part I: The British Isles Orkney and Shetland English Scottish English and varieties of Scots Irish English Manx English Welsh English English dialects in the north of England Southwest English dialects East Anglia Channel Island English Part II: North America Newfoundland English Earlier African American Vernacular English Gullah Chicano English Part III: The Caribbean and South America English in the Bahamas Bahamian Creole Barbadian Creole English (Bajan) Jamaican English Jamaican Creole San Andres-Providence Creole English Belizean Creole Guyanese Creole (Creolese) The Eastern Maroon Creoles Saramaccan Sranan Trinidadian Creole Vincentian Creole Part IV: Africa Sierra Leone Krio Liberian Settler English Vernacular Liberian English Ghanaian English Ghanaian Pidgin English Nigerian English Nigerian Pidgin Cameroon English Cameroon Pidgin Tanzanian English Kenyan English Ugandan English White Zimbabwean English Black South African English Indian South African English White South African English Part V: South and Southeast Asia Indian English Pakistani English Sri Lankan English Hong Kong English Colloquial Singaporean English (Singlish) Colloquial Malaysian English Part VI: Australasia and the Pacific Pam Peters and Peter Collins Colloquial Australian English Aboriginal English and associated varieties: shared and unshared features Norfolk Island/Pitcairn English Palmerston Island English Hawai’i Creole Part VII: Isolates Maltese English Falkland Island English Part VIII: Regional profiles The British Isles The Caribbean North America Australia Pacific region Asia Africa Part IX: Typological profiles L1 varieties L2 varieties Pidgins and Creoles Part X: Global profile Morphosyntactic variation in the anglophone world: a global perspective Index of varieties and languages Index of features Foldout 1: The WAVE feature set Foldout 2: A world map of the WAVE varieties Foldout 3: Network WAVE_all La 4ème page de couverture indique : "The Mouton World Atlas of Variation in English (WAVE) presents grammatical variation in spontaneous spoken English, mapping 235 features in 48 varieties of English (traditional dialects, high-contact mother tongue Englishes, and indiginized second-language Englishes) and 26 English-based Pidgins and Creoles in eight Anglophone world regions (Africa, Asia, Australia, British Isles, the Caribbean, North America, the Pacific, and the South Atlantic).
