The Alchemy of English: The Spread, Functions, and Models of Non-native Englishes

       "What emerges from Kachru's fine work is the potential demarcation         of an entire field, rather than merely the fruitful exploration of a topic.         . . . [Kachru] is to be congratulated for having taken us as far as he         already has and for doing so in so stimulating and so productive a fashion."         -- World Englishes       "A potent addition to theoretical, sociolinguistic, attitudinal         and methodological explorations vis-à-vis the spread and functions         of, and innovations in, English from the viewpoint of a non-Western scholar."         -- The Language Teacher              Winner of the Joint First Prize, Duke of Edinburgh English Language         Book Competition of the English-Speaking Union of the Commonwealth, 1987
