Abstract:

What is the future of languages in an increasingly globalized world?
Are we moving toward the use of a single language for global
communication, or are there ways of managing language diversity at the
international level? Can we, or should we, maintain a balance between
the global need to communicate and the maintenance of local and
regional identities and cultures? What is the role of education, of
language rights, of language equality in this volatile global
linguistic mix? A group of leading scholars in sociolinguistics and
language policy examines trends in language use across the world to
find answers to these questions and to make predictions about likely
outcomes. Highlighted in the discussion are, among other issues, the
rapidly changing role of English, the equally rapid decline and death
of small languages, the future of the major European languages, the
international use of constructed languages like Esperanto, and, not
least, the question of what role applied scholarship can and should
play in mapping and influencing the future.
