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. 01 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/475/veaw.g73.png 01 01 D502 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_jpg/9789027237736.jpg 01 01 D504 https://benjamins.com/covers/475_tif/9789027237736.tif 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_front/veaw.g73.hb.png 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/125/veaw.g73.png 02 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/1200_back/veaw.g73.hb.png 03 00 03 01 01 D503 https://benjamins.com/covers/3d_web/veaw.g73.hb.png 01 01 JB code veaw.g73.prelim i iv 4 Prelim pages -1 01 04 Prelim pages Prelim pages 01 01 JB code veaw.g73.toc 06 10.1075/veaw.g73.toc v viii 4 Table of contents 0 01 04 Table of contents Table of contents 01 eng 01 01 JB code veaw.g73.lot 06 10.1075/veaw.g73.lot ix xii 4 Table of contents 1 01 04 List of tables List of tables 01 eng 01 01 JB code veaw.g73.lof 06 10.1075/veaw.g73.lof xiii xiv 2 Table of contents 2 01 04 List of figures List of figures 01 eng 01 01 JB code veaw.g73.c01 06 10.1075/veaw.g73.c01 1 18 18 Chapter 3 01 04 Chapter 1.
