Abstract

The global spread of English has brought diverse varieties for intranational use for the expression of local sociocultural identities of its users. Braj B. Kachru’s (1985, pp. 11-15; 1992, pp. 356-357) model of the Three Concentric Circles depicts the spread and present state of English use in the world and has been both seminal and fundamental to the field of World Englishes (WE) since its inception.
