The Wonderful World of Englishes

English is the global language par excellence – spoken on every continent and in a wide range of forms. But there no longer is just one type of English. From London to Lagos, from Kingston to New Delhi: English has developed in its own unique way everywhere.

In this lecture, Dr. Philipp Meer will take you on a journey through the fascinating diversity of English around the world. You will learn how history, culture, and identity shape language – and why it can make sense to talk about Englishes in the plural.
