Feature studies of World Englishes (Schneider, Brato, et al.)

As a natural component of our overall investigations of World Englishes, individual features and properties of specific varieties have been investigated. These studies have been based on a range of sources, including, most commonly, available corpora (large-scale electronic text collections), video resources, or personal fieldwork.
