"An important book. . . . The Other Tongue should prove of great
value to linguists, literary scholars, teachers of English as a
foreign/second language, language policy planners, and users of
'nativized' Englishes."--Robert Kaplan, Applied Linguistics
"An important volume for any teacher of English who is confronted
with a variety of localized forms of English, or who is interested
in the complex nature and development of the language we use and
teach. It not only provides a shock of recognition; it presents the
teacher with a clear way to analyze the uses of English that may
obtain in a polydialectal classroom."--Alan C. Purves, College of
English
"Valuable for teachers who want to look that little bit further
into relating language in the classroom to what goes on
outside."--John Norrish, ELT Journal
