## Description

desertcart.com: English as a Global Language (Canto Classics): 9781107611801: Crystal, David: Books

Review: Fantastic Book - I read this book from cover to cover, very quickly. Crystal definitely provides some useful history and insight. I think he breaks a lot of assumptions about language.
Review: The Spread of Global English - In this book, David Crystal presents the future of the English language. According to Crystal, non-native speakers of English outnumber native speakers of English, so it could be said that English has become global. Add to this the fact that English has become the de facto language of business, science, technology, and diplomacy, and it becomes apparent that English belongs to the world. Crystal argues that English will become more influenced by non-native speakers in the future, so we will have to rethink the idea of the "native speaker". As a world language, English doesn't belong to the native speakers in countries such as England and America, but to all who speak it. To speak a language gives you the right to use it as you will. This is a very interesting book on the spread of world English. I really recommend it.
