In the Introduction to the volume, the editors introduce the overall topic, i.e., newly emerging realities and current debates in World Englishes theorising. They discuss why a unified approach towards postcolonial and non-postcolonial Englishes is inevitable to fully capture the current linguistic realities behind the spread and entrenchment of English worldwide. Subsequently, they provide a concise summary of the EIF Model (Buschfeld and Kautzsch) in comparison to Schneider’s (2003, 2007) Dynamic Model, and offer a brief description of the outline of the book by chapter.
Keywords: World Englishes theorising, postcolonial English, non-postcolonial English, Extra- and Intra-territorial Forces Model, Dynamic Model, English worldwide
