In lieu of an abstract, here is a brief excerpt of the content:

Our appreciation extends first and foremost to all the contributors for making this volume what it is: thank you for being part of this project. We also express our heartfelt thanks to Kingsley Bolton, editor of the Asian Englishes Today series, for his enthusiasm and support for a volume on English in Singapore in the first place, his sage advice on its contents, and his aiding and abetting throughout its incarnation. We are much obliged to Nicole Wong, our research assistant, for the initial formatting of chapters and checking of references, as well as for her work in the preliminary collation of the research bibliography, and to the National University of Singapore’s Faculty of Arts and Social Sciences Staff Research Support Scheme for the grant (C103-000-222-091) that funded the research assistantship. We are grateful too to Chris Leung for his work on the cover design and map. We thank the two anonymous reviewers appointed by Hong Kong University Press for their constructive comments on the chapters, and the staff at the Press for their advice, support and help throughout the preparation of this volume.
