Examining characteristic features of English used in Kenya, and taking into consideration the sociolinguistic factors, Budohoska seeks to conform or reject the status of Kenyan English as a hypothetical new variety of postcolonial English. Her introductory chapter looks at the historical and sociolinguistic background and sets out Schneider's Dynamic Model for postcolonial Englishes, which she uses as reference. Then she discusses the data and method of her study, multilingual Kenya in a Labovian framework, a quantitative study of the formality of language in the International Corpus of English for Kenya (ICE-K), the Kiswahili borrowing in the ICE-K, and characteristic morphological and syntactic features in the ICE-K.
