The advantage of English spreading as a global language will continue to outweigh the disadvantages
The advantage of English spreading as a global language will continue to outweigh the disadvantages. To what extent do you agree or disagree?
--
The issue of globalisation and, in particular, of the use english language as a tool of multinational communication has been in the headlines for decades. I agree with those who say that these processes can have a negative impact. However, some feel that there is nothing to be afraid of. In this essay I will examine both sides and substantiate my opinion.
Regarding those who praise the spreading of Shakespear's language there are many reasons. Th primary argument is that it is immensely convenient to use one language which is understansable everywhere. It makes much easier traveling and creation multinational teams for any kinds of projects. Moreover, it creates opportunity for dialogue for different cultural and religious groups, what is crucially important at the moment, when isolation and tention are so high.
Nevertheless, besides all advantages there are some negative aftermath. Surprisingly, one of the possible victims if popularisation English language is English language itself! There are two billions people who have English as a second language, which give a birth a number of sublanguages, such as Spanglish, Chineglish and much more, which are vulgarised and simplified forms of English. The result of this process in the really long run could be coming some grey English which will be only language on the Earth. In my view, in order to pervent such outcome we should protect other languages.
To sum up, my strong belief is that there is nothing wrong in growing popularity of English language, but we should asses probable consequences and take serious measures to protect national identities of other language groups.
