Short description:

Within the last few decades, increases in the transnational flow of
capital, media, people, and culture have created a situation in which
the world's societies are more interdependent, yet more directly in
competition with one another in the global market. As a result, the
need for efficient communication among various global participants in
politics, academia, and business has made English the dominant
universal language of both the marketplace and the academic world
(Harper, 2011). While the current dominance of English can be
attributed to a number of historical factors, including the
longstanding geopolitical influence of British colonialism, as well as
the United States as a pivotal player in the global arena, the spread
of the English language as a linguistic hegemon varies from one
geographic area to another. The former Soviet Turkic-speaking
countries that include Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan,
Turkmenistan, and Uzbekistan are a particularly interesting region in
this respect as the rapid expansion of English has impacted various
spheres of life. That is mostly linked to the shared decolonization
(Anderson, 2008; Houbert, 1997, etc.) history of these countries when
the collapse of the Soviet Union led to numerous changes in political,
economic, and social orientations. Yet, the key changes can be
observed in language reorientation when the regional power language,
i.e. Russian was first substituted by the local languages, and later,
the English language, as a key instrument of globalization (Mammadova,
2021).
