It examines the historical trajectory of English language contact, the contemporary spread of the language, and public attitudes toward its use in the country. Central to the study is the development and analysis of the Kuwaiti English National Corpus, comprising 127,806,223 million words across both spoken and written texts. The volume also assesses the relevance of Schneider’s (2003, 2007) Dynamic Model and Buschfeld and Kautzsch’s (2017) Extra- and Intra-territorial Forces Model in the Gulf context. Findings reveal the emergence of innovative linguistic forms, particularly in discourse pragmatics, while also highlighting significant interpersonal variation and the multifaceted role of English in identity construction. This work offers valuable insights for scholars examining the status and functions of English in the Gulf and contributes to ongoing efforts to refine the World Englishes paradigm to better represent linguistic realities on the ground. 04 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/veaw.g73.png 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027237736.jpg 04 03 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027237736.tif 06 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/veaw.g73.hb.png 07 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/veaw.g73.png 25 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/veaw.g73.hb.png 27 09 01 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/veaw.g73.hb.png 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.prelim i iv 4 Prelim pages -1 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.toc v viii 4 Table of contents 0 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.lot ix xii 4 Table of contents 1 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.lof xiii xiv 2 Table of contents 2 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.c01 1 18 18 Chapter 3 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.c02 19 48 30 Chapter 4 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.c03 49 83 35 Chapter 5 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.c04 84 125 42 Chapter 6 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.c05 126 154 29 Chapter 7 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.c06 155 197 43 Chapter 8 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.c07 198 210 13 Chapter 9 10 01 JB code veaw.g73.refs 211 227 17 References 10 02 JBENJAMINS John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 John Benjamins Publishing Company Amsterdam/Philadelphia NL 02 November 2026 20261115 2026 John Benjamins B.V. 02 WORLD 13 15 9789027237736 01 JB 3 John Benjamins e-Platform 03 jbe-platform.com 09 WORLD 10 20261115 01 00 140.00 EUR R 01 00 118.00 GBP Z 01 gen 00 182.00 USD S 721030505 03 01 01 JB John Benjamins Publishing Company 01 JB code VEAW G73 Hb 15 9789027237736 BB 01 VEAW 02 0172-7362 Varieties of English Around the World G73 01 veaw.g73 01 https://benjamins.com 02 https://benjamins.com/catalog/veaw.g73 1 A01 Mohammad A.N.
