Reviews

International English provides a concise and easily accessible guide to the standard varieties of English around the world, and is undoubtedly an invaluable resource for teachers and students alike.
Jennifer Smith, Department of Language and Linguistics

The style throughout is accessible to the general reader with an interest in the English Language. This edition is one which students and lecturers should have on their shelf.
Journal of Language and Linguistics

My own personal use of this handbook over the last fifteen years or so has convinced me that Trudgill and Hannah have more than fulfilled their modest goal of providing 'at least a partial solution to the problem of recognising and coping with differences among the standard varieties of English by covering differences at the levels of phonetics, phonology, grammar and vocabulary.'
