For many people the Earth's talk about the globalization of English is not something abstract. Many of the issues and to date remain open. For example, whether the English language? this is the best language for international communication? And is not he a threat to the diversity of national cultures and languages? And there are other languages are suitable for communication in the global community? Interesting fact. Term in relation to the English language is used only in English? Anywhere else! This underlines the uniqueness of the English language. It should be noted that the international English language differs from British English and, in fact, he did not is the national language in any country. And, as if it may sound paradoxical, but English is segregated from the rest of the English world. By virtue of the fact that they speak a universal language, they have no need to teach others foreign languages. But multilingualism is also the essence of Europe.
Urgency in a single world language comes from the ancient times. Immediately recall the Tower of Babel, or attempts to create a single world language? Esperanto. As shown history, such attempts are doomed to failure. Now let's take a closer look at English. In fact, in the world there are three types of English. English as a native English language, as well as any another language reflects culture, outlook and thinking of its speakers. British, Americans, Canadians, Australians? for them English is the mother tongue and that it unites them, but because of dialects, he distinguishes these nations from each other. It's no secret that English, as well as French, Spanish and Portuguese is not homogeneous.
All four of these languages have been exported outside of Europe in different geographical areas Land during the colonial conquests, and thus were doomed to transformation. English as a foreign language under this category refers to local variations of English in countries where it is native to absolute minority of privileged people and the second official language for the rest of the population. By the way, none of these countries is not a European. These are: India, Malaysia, Nigeria, Pakistan, Thailand, South Korea, Philippines, Uganda, etc. In these countries, English is much transformed and absorbed a lot of borrowing from local languages. Sometimes an amusing combination. For example, in Malaysia (half past six) means not only time days, but insulting and derogatory remarks about someone or something useless. Global English Speaking about the international English language, its impact, primarily due to the influence of the United States, as a carrier this language. His influence is so powerful that even the eternally resisting France, where historically the French carefully refer to the entire national, and she had to admit that English can no longer be regarded as foreign language. Globalization only contributes to this trend? widespread strengthening of the English language. Without exception in all languages there are borrowings from English. And especially it refers began in the era of computerization and the Internet. I guess Bill Gates is its operating system has done more to spread the English language than all the English missionaries together. In fact, now standing virtually every flat computer is a missionary, agitating for the English language. And virtually all of these communication innovations leave behind the modern lives of those who do not understand English.
