What is it about?
This is an article on the significance of the World Englishes paradigm that to me, seems to be a revolutionary linguistic paradigm after years of structural and prescriptive linguistics that used to domineer at schools, I see the reason for an abundance of innovative features in the fact that language and culture, language and community of use started to be studied together.
