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\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Sailaja Pingali\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 074862595X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780748625956\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Edinburgh University Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 02\/02\/2009\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.50lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.40h x 5.40w x 0.50d","brand":"Sailaja Pingali","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44059624407295,"sku":"9780748625956","price":36.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_0452a0f5-c708-45a4-ba7d-681cf80209d7.jpg?v=1685059354","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/indian-english-sailaja-pingali-9780748625956","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
