When The Other Tongue appeared in 1982, it was called "required reading for all those concerned with English teaching in non-native situations, from the classroom teacher to the policy planner", Jowhn Platt, English World-Wide) and "an extremely useful and stimulating collection" (William C. Ritchie, Language). It introduced refreshingly new perspectives for understanding the spread and functions of English around the world.

This dramatically revised volume contains eight new chapters, replacing or updating more than half of the first edition. The Other Tongue is the first attempt to integrate and address provocative issues relevant to a deeper understanding of the forms and functions of English within different sociolinguistic, cross-cultural, and cross-linguistic contexts. The volume discusses linguistic, literary, pedagogical, and attitudinal issues related to world Englishes.

Industry Reviews

''The Other Tongue is a prophetic book, but not after the manner of Cassandra. Its prophecies have been heard as well as fulfilled. The study of English as an international language, now well established around the world, is due in no small measure to the influence of this book and the associated work of Braj Kachru. This new revised edition is warranted and welcome.'' -- John Algeo, JEGP
