Recenzje

'To date, while there have been accounts of different individual varieties of English, English has rarely been explored together in a systematic way as part of a broader region. This volume edited by Ee Ling Low and Anne Pakir has bridged this gap, exploring in depth English(es) in East and South Asia (EESA).'
