23 contributions from the Third International Colloquium on the "Celtic Englishes", held at the University of Potsdam from 20-23 Sept. 2001, which explored linguistic variation in the Celtic Englishes in correlation with other academic disciplines, so as to establish the crucial significance of these varieties of English in England's first (European) colonies in history and in the global spread of the English language. - From the Table of Contents: Hildegard L.
