From the Back Cover
This book is a descriptive account of English as it is used in India. Indian English is a second language to most of its speakers. In its 400-year history it has acquired its own character, yet still looks to native varieties of English for norms. The complex nature of Indian English, which is not really a monolithic entity, is discussed in this book. The book also makes a distinction between what are considered to be standard and non-standard varieties, and provides an overview of the salient features. Indian English includes: *a discussion of the sociolinguistic and cultural factors *the history of the establishment of English in India, bringing it up to modern times *a description of the linguistic aspects: phonetics and phonology, lexical, discourse and morphosyntactic features *samples of written English from a range of contexts *samples of speech *an annotated bibliography divided according to topic. Pingali Sailaja has been with the Department of English, University of Hyderabad, India, for two decades. Her research interests and publications are on various aspects of phonology and morphology, the historical and linguistic aspects of English in India, and the teaching of English as a second language. Her previous publications include English Words: Structure, Formation and Literature (2004).
