Simplicity and Typological Effects in the Emergence of New Englishes - The Noun Phrase in Singaporean and Kenyan English

The book is based on a detailed corpus-based investigation of the structure of noun phrases (NPs) in Singaporean English and Kenyan English with the aim of detecting, on the one hand, typological effects from substrate languages and, on the other hand, simplification patterns known to play a role in such varieties.
