Global English2) David Crystal, English as a Global Language (Cambridge UP, 1997) Designed for both an academic and a more general audience, the bottom line of this text is that the desire for a globally common language and the desire to preserve local languages and by extension cultural identities are not mutually exclusive desires.1) The Global English Newsletter (from The English Company (UK) Ltd and the British Council's "English 2000" Project) "Global English" in a sociolinguistic context refers almost literally to the use of English as a global language.Crystal does see it as a contemporary phenomenon driven by both British imperialism and the ascension of the US economy after WWII, and Joe Lockard's essay on "English Language Ideologies in Mandatory Palestine" makes use of the phrase in much the same way.We are at a moment in history now in which English has been figured as both the fulfillment of the colonial promise of an all-pervasive, hegemonic system of language and as the sine qua non of the new world information order, a constitutive part of a global human society at 'the end of history.' My manuscript, Global English and the Academy, thus comes out of a single question: What remains to be said once English is taken to be inevitably, ineluctably here—now that the power and status of the language is taken to be self-evident.The provisional answer is that we must come to know by what means it has achieved this kind of primacy and that a strictly economic approach to this problem cannot give full account of the linguistic ordering of English as a dominant, global language, for this has also to do with the evaluation of English as cultural capital. english.ucsb.edu/faculty/rraley/research/global-English.html |
What Global Language - 00.11like | But the idea of English as a global language doesn't mean what they think it does -- at least, not according to people I've interviewed whose professions are bound up especially closely in what happens to the English language.And English as a Global Language (1997), a book by David Crystal, who is a professor at the University of Wales."English" refers to a family of languages and dialects the most widely spoken of which is standard American English, and which have a common origin in England -- though not all varieties of English, either, are mutually intelligible.ECAUSE I am interested in what happens to the English language, over the past year or so I've been asking people, at dinner parties and professional gatherings and so on, whether they think that English is well on its way to being the global language."The Decline of Grammar," by Geoffrey Nunberg (December 1983) "Is the English language -- or to put it less apocalyptically, English prose writing -- really in a bad way. How would one tell.". theatlantic.com/issues/2000/11/wallraff.htm |
