The dominance of English as a language of science: effects on other
languages and language communities

Ulrich Ammon

Walter de Gruyter, 2001 - Technology & Engineering - 478 pages

The book shows to what degree English is now the dominant language of
science. Giving examples from countries on all continents,
explanations are given and predictions of future developments are
made. How does the dominance of English affect other languages and
their speakers? Are other languages still being modernized under these
conditions? Are their speakers trapped in a permanent disadvantage, or
do the advantages of a world-wide lingua franca outweigh disadvantages
for everyone?The book provides important background information for
language planning and language politics.
