As a result, Welsh English is a distinctive, regionally and sociolinguistically diverse variety, whose status is not easily categorized.\u003cbr\u003eIn addition to existing research, the present volume utilizes a wide range of spoken corpus data gathered from across Wales in order to describe the phonology, lexis, and grammar of the variety. It includes discussion of sociolinguistic and cultural contexts, and of ongoing change in Welsh English. The place that Welsh English occupies in relation to other Englishes in the Inner and Outer Circles is also analysed.\u003cbr\u003eThe book is accessible to the non-specialist, but of particular use to scholars, teachers, and students interested in English in Wales, Britain, and the world. It provides an unparelleled resource on this long-standing and vibrant variety. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeli Paulasto, \u003c\/strong\u003e University of Eastern Finland, Finland; \u003cstrong\u003eRob Penhallurick and\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cstrong\u003eBenjamin A.
