Reflecting the increased awareness of global forms of English, great strides have been made in the study of varieties of the language in recent decades.

Definitions are included both for the varieties of English and the regions in which they are found, and for terms and concepts derived from the linguistic analysis of these varieties. Various research avenues are covered, including the transportation of dialects of English, the rise of New Englishes, sociolinguistic investigations of various English-speaking locales, and the study of language contact and change. Informative and highly accessible, A Dictionary of Varieties of English is an invaluable resource for students and scholars alike, spanning the rich and diverse varieties of the most widely accepted language of international communication.
