English World-Wide is a prestigious academic journal focused on the global diversity and use of the English language. This journal, with its comprehensive and in-depth research content, has established itself as a leader in the field of English studies. The core focus of the journal is new discoveries in dialectology and sociolinguistics in English communities that include both native speakers of English and speakers of English as a second language.
Articles published in the journal cover a wide range of topics, including but not limited to the study of phonetics, grammar, lexicology, and pragmatics of English dialects. Sociolinguistic research focuses on the relationship between language and social identity, social structure, and cultural practices. These studies not only help to reveal patterns of English use in different social and cultural contexts, but also provide valuable insights into understanding language variation and change. The journal also focuses on broader linguistic issues directly related to modern varieties of English, such as sociolinguistics, creolistics, language planning, multilingualism, and modern historical sociolinguistics. Research in these areas contributes to understanding how languages develop and change in socio-historical contexts, and how language policy and programming influence language use and dissemination.
