Book synopsis

Nigerian English in Sociolinguistic Perspectives: Linguistic and Literary Paradigms - a Festschrift in Honour of Funso Akere is intended to celebrate Professor Funso Akere's achievements as one of Nigeria's foremost linguists and international scholars, as well as to commemorate his 70th birthday on the 14th of April 2010. The title of the book reflects both Professor Akere's area of specialization, which is sociolinguistics, and the twin linguistic and literary enterprise of the Department of English, University of Lagos, Nigeria, where his research interests and activities were nurtured during the greater part of his career. Altogether thirty-seven papers are contributed by scholars from all over the country under nine different sections. These papers form a rich collection that gives adequate coverage to the phenomenon of Nigerian English from diverse sociolinguistic perspectives, which linguists studying the 'new Englishes' will, hopefully, find richly satisfying.
