Beschreibung: In this course we will look at the many Englishes around the word. After discussing general issues such as the difference between accent v. dialect or standard v. non-standard, we will also move away from the inner circle varieties (i.e. the British Isles, US) and look at pidgins, creoles and colonial varieties. Over the course of the seminar we will analyse and describe variation on all linguistic levels including phonology, lexicon, grammar.
