(Contributions to the Sociology of Language 84)
The book shows to what degree English is now the dominant language of
science. It gives a world-wide overview of various countries on all
continents aiming beyond description at explanation and even
prediction of future developments. What are the effects of the
dominance of English on languages and speakers? Are other languages
still being modernized under these conditions? Are their speakers
trapped at 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.
