Abstract: This paper explores how egalitarians should characterise the many
and varied inequalities associated with the ongoing global spread of
English(es). These global linguistic inequalities include, but are not
limited to, inequalities between L1 English-speakers and those who (had to)
learn English as a supplementary language as well as inequalities that
arise due to prestige variety. We argue that these inequalities cannot be
reduced to a single dimension, such as inequality of power or status.
Instead, by drawing on distributive and relational approaches to
egalitarian political philosophy, we present an indicative and
non-exhaustive list of some different dimensions of global linguistic
inequality. In particular, we identify global linguistic inequalities in
how five important goods are distributed (access to opportunities;
linguistic resources, services and supports; language learning efforts;
dignity/esteem; and expression) and in how people relate to one another
across five dimensions (morally; epistemically; socially; aesthetically and
empirically). The benefit of our analysis is that it reveals the complex
and multifaceted nature of global linguistic inequality.
