Torrent description

English As A Global Language.


David Crystal, world authority on the English language, presents a lively
and factual account of the rise of English as a global language and explores
the whys and wherefores of the history, current status and future
potential of English as the international language of communication. English
has been lauded as the most ‘successful’ language ever, with 1,500
million speakers worldwide; but Crystal avoids taking sides and tells the
story in a measured but engaging way, backed by facts and figures. This
new edition of his classic book contains extra sections (on subjects including
the linguistic features of New Englishes, the future of English as
a world language, and the possibility of an English ‘family’ of languages),
footnotes and a full bibliography. There are updates throughout. This is
a book for anyone of any nationality concerned with English: teachers,
students, language professionals, politicians, general readers and anyone
with a love of the language.
