English, however, is not the most widely used language in the world. Chinese is spoken by more than a billion (= one hundred thousand million) people in China alone. Some of the European languages are comparable with English in reflecting the forces of history, especially with regard to European expansion since the sixteenth century. Spanish, next in size to English, is spoken by about 240 million people, Russian by 210 million, Portuguese by 125 million, Ger- man by 110 million, French by 85 million native speakers (and a large number of second- language speakers) and Italian by 65 million ( Baugh & Cable, 1993). A language may be important as a /ingua franca in a country or region whose diverse populations would otherwise be unable to communicate. This is especially tru colonies of England and France whose colonial languages have remained indisp@ after independence and often in spite of outright hostility to the political and cultural numbers over all other western languages. The importance of a language, however, is not alone a matt rritory; it depends also on the importance of the people who speak it. The janguage is associated in the mind of the world with the political role played b using it and ions--i.e., pay thelr debts to other na- tions, meet the interest on their bonds, maintain thé r other basis of their currency, con- trol their expenditures; with the extent of their busin b of their commerce; with the conditions of lifes and with the part played by them in art ai exploration and discovery~—in short, withgileei of the world.

THE FUTURE 0 English language today make it reasonable to ask obable position it will occupy in the future. It is admit- éf nations; the changes during the present century in the age is primarily a matter of population, the most important ques- igfs of the world will increase most rapidly. Growth of population is ;.at'mid-centurythe populations of the developing countries will increase their majority to per- haps three and a half to one during the twenty-first century. Since most of the native speakers ! ish live in the developed countries, it can be expected that this group will account for a pparepsively smaller proportion of the world’s population. son If the future of a language were merely a matter of the number who use it as a first language, English would appear to be entering a period of decline after four centuries of un- precedented expansion. What makes this prospect unlikely is the fact that English is widely used as a second language throughout the worlds estimates of the number of speakers with varying degrees of proficiency range between 50 million and 300 million. In some of the devel- oping countries that are experiencing the greatest growth, English is one of the official tan- guages, as it is in India, Nigeria, and the Philippines. In some countries English is a neutral lan- © ECOEM, S.A. — 902 930 870 — www.ecoem.es — [email protected] Reservados todos los derechos.

In most developing countries communications in English are superior to those in the vernacular languages. The unavailability of textbooks in Swahili has slowed the effort to establish that language as the language of education in Tanzania. Yet textbooks and other publications are readily available in English, and they are produced by countries with the economic means to sustain their vast systems of communications. The complex interaction of these forces defies general statements of the present situa- tion or specific projections into the distant future. It is also likely that pidgin and creole varieties of English will become increasingly widespread in those areas where English is q first lan- guage. A pidgin is a language which is a mixture of two other languages. Pidgin ¥ pands linguistically to satisfy a full range of functions and will serve the children as4 language. A pidgin usually has a limited vocabulary and a reduced grammatical stru may expand when a pidgin is used over a period and for many purpggés, Usually pid pidg- tive language of a group of speakers, being used for all or many of their daily;tommunicative far more complex than those of a pidgin language.

The inence of Germany in all fields of scientific and scholarly activity made German a serious npetitor. Now more scientific research is probably published in English than in any other lan- guage, and the preeminence of English in commercial use is undoubted. The revolution in communications during this century has contributed to the spread of several European lan- guages, but especially of English because of major broadcasting and motion picture industries in the United States and Great Britain. It will be the combined effect of economic and cultural forces such as these, rather than explicit legislation by national or international bodies, that will determine the world languages of the future. © ECOEM, S.A. — 902 930 870 — www.ecoem.es — [email protected] Reservados todos los derechos.

In 1935 English was the official language of one-fourth of the earth’s surface, even if only a small fraction of the population in Parts of that area actually knew English. As the colonies gained independence, English continued to be used alongside the ver- naculars. In many of the new countries English is either the Primary language or a necessary second language in the schools, the courts, and business. The extent of its use varies with re- gional history and current government policy, although stated policy often masks the actual complexities. In Uganda, for example, where no language is spoken as a first language by more than 16 percent of the population, English is the one official language; yet less cent of the population speaks it as a first language. In India, English was to serv@ purposes only until 1965, but it continues to be used Officially with Hindi and four national languages. In Tanzania, Swahili is the one official language, but English i pensable in the schools and the high courts. It is nowhere a question the native speech. Nothing is a matter of greater patriotic feeling reason for this dominance of English is its propensity for acquirin assimilation, its manifestation in a range of varieties, and above medium for literary and other types of creativity across languages ani 2.

It has been said that it is ugugpal to find adult Americans living in the place in which they were born, and while this is janObyfous exaggeration, it is nevertheless true that change of abode is distinctly common. In it 1¢,past Americans also had to reckon with the influence of Webster's spelling book and Lindsay Murray's grammar, by which at all times public education in America has been a standardizing influence. As a result of the homogeneity of the English language in America, a standard exists that rests upon general use, albeit a standard for which complete uniformity cannot be claimed. In New England and the South there are particular differences, as of pronunciation,that are easily recognized. But just because they can be perceived, it is easy to exaggerate them while © ECOEM, S.A. — 902 930 870 - www.ecoem.es —[email protected] Inglés, Tema 66 (Secundaria) Pag. 6 , losing sight of the great majority of features that the speech of all parts of the country has in common. Such differences characterize the pronunciation of New England, the South, and the Middie States and the West. They are not defections from the general standard but variations within it. Even Black English Vernacular, the most conspicuous example of a non-standard dia- lect, diverges from the uniformity of American English in superficial ways. The relatively few features that characterize Black English vernacular, some of which are features of standard Southern English, are more important as a social reality than as a linguistic reality. The features are perceived as more pervasive than they actually are, and a few occur- rences of patterns such as He tired or She don’t be busy evoke in the listenegs.mind a fuil stereotype with its associations, negative or positive, depending on the listener’ Haguistic ae sympathies. But regarding the linguistic insignificance of the features themselves, sé and traditional dialectologists have made the same point.
