English as a Global Language

David Crystal, world authority on the English language, has written a timely and informative account of the phenomenon of English as a global language - the most successful the globe has ever known, with perhaps 1,500 million speakers. But if its rise continues what will be the fate of less powerful tongues? and what would have been the impact if Bill Gates had grown up speaking Chinese? What makes a world language? And why is English the leading candidate? Will it continue to hold that position? This book will appeal to anyone with an interest in language issues, whatever their political views on the subject.
