Abstract
The present chapter reviews the different stages in the history of research into the notoriously difficult notion ofEstuaryEnglish. It beginswith the classic texts by the first authors, the founder of the term and concept David Rosewarne (1984) and the author of the first book(let) on Estuary English, Paul Coggle (1993). The chapter goes on to discuss the dissemination of the term by journalists and literary authors and then proceeds to look at the work of expert linguists on Estuary English itself and related issues. It is argued that the popularity of the term with non-linguists is one of the major reasons for the skepticism with which linguists view both term and concept. Another reason for this skepticism is the rather indiscriminate use of the term as a shorthand for a number of related but divergent trends. The chapter explores the results of linguistic research into these trends and relates them to the notion of 'Estuary English', even if the researchers themselves refrain from mentioning the term.
