    Brunei English (2nd Edition)

    by Salbrina Hj Sharbawi, David Deterding, & Nur Raihan Mohamad

    This book project sees the revision and updating of the first-ever monograph wholly dedicated to the systematic linguistic description of Brunei English. Deterding and Salbrina (2013) provided comprehensive coverage of the history, structural properties (on the levels of pronunciation, grammar, discourse and vocabulary) and social (and educational) settings of Brunei English.

    After almost a decade, several notable changes have since been observed in the Bruneian variety of English, and this second edition chronicles the ongoing narrative of language change and discusses the current trends in the use of Brunei English. In addition to presenting a contemporaneous account of English in Brunei, the second edition of the book will also incorporate the role of variation within this variety, something that has been pointed out as lacking in the first edition.
