Today, English is without a doubt the actual universal language, which can be understood almost everywhere among scholars and educated people as the world media language, and the language of cinema, TV, pop music and the computer world. While, as some people bring up their doubt that whether English can hold its status in the future or not, although many people think it’s hard to hold its status for a long time, there is actual evidence to indicate that the future status of English as the global language is assured.
Opponents of English being the global language claim that this is a phenomenon of linguistic invasion. "It is time to fight this disrespect of our language," says Mr. Rebelo, the author of a new bill designed to "promote and defend" the Lusitanian [Portuguese] language. As he states "People feel humiliated and offended by having to pronounce words in a language that is not theirs.” Because of this, opponents insist they should use the mother tongue rather than English.
What’s more, in order to keep the language’s purity, the opponents oppose claims that they refuse to admit English as the global language. As what Rebelo says’ people cannot communicate fluently because of the abuse of foreign expressions in our language." At the same time, Poland recently passed a law to enforce the language purity by banning foreign words from everyday transactions unless Polish translations are provided alongside, with the purpose of keep their language from linguistic invasion.
However, there are 3 significant factors, to support the positive attitude towards English globalization, have been ignored. Firstly, the linguistic mix is a reaction to globalization's economy. English is becoming a gateway into the more economically developed world. For instance, a person from Mexico who speaks fluent English can use this ability as a kind of social passport into English speaking countries, especially America the land of opportunity, As the British expert David Crystal, said, the,spread of English is well under way; at first, because the British not only built a global empire but settled America, and now because the world (and notably America) has acquired its first truly global-and interactive-medium, the Internet.
Secondly, the common of a language is in reverse proportion with the political and economic influence. It is a fact that although the United States is on its downhill, it should be acknowledged that it is still a superpower and the most developed country in the world. It has no rival in science and technology, military affairs, weapon, economy. Powerful national comprehensive strength makes it easy for the United States to spread English around the world. Take a simple example, English has long dominated learned journals because in history, the United Kingdom has ever built a global empire and settled America. And after that, the United States developed sharply and became one of the most powerful countries at that time. This is an inevitability of history.
Another reason is the developing demand of science and technology. According to a report named Nobel Prize Winners by Country delivered by Rasmussen College, the number of Nobel Prize winners in the United States the largest around the world, which is much more than the second country, and is almost half of the world. Besides, the United Kingdom is also rich in technological resources. This fact results in a situation where a large part of technological research achievements are presented in English. If one wants his own work to be published and widely read by his peers, English is the choice. This is also the reason why so many countries spread English education in their own country.
In conclusion, there are certain opponent voices, but they cannot change the trend of world development. And the future status of English as the global language is assured. The learning of English all over the world will continue, English skill is becoming an even significant ability.
English hsa become humen change language,so learn English is imporetant.
