N2  - The thirteen contributions to this book provide a comprehensive introduction to the Philippine corpus of English, and demonstrate a range of approaches for describing and analyzing the grammatical and lexical features of Philippine English. Full credit should go to the core team of Filipino researchers based at De La Salle University for their detailed and painstaking work in compiling the corpus and their ongoing work in annotating the corpus for grammatical analysis. Credit is due to the international researchers who also make an important contribution to this volume. The result, in this collection of papers, is a detailed and fine-grained analysis of the Philippine variety of English, which serves as a benchmark for the growing sophistication and maturity of linguistic studies of Philippine English.
