Algunos aspectos del efecto del inglés acorde a varios textos

1. What is the effect of
English?
¿En qué consiste el
efecto del inglés?

2. The effect of English is the impact or negative influence this
language has had above other languages, in other words,
English is destroying more than half of the languages in the world,
is for this reason that linguist David Crystal warns (in a widely-quoted
phrase), if, in 500 years, English is the only language left
to be learnt, “it will have been the greatest intellectual disaster
that the planet has ever known”. Due, when a language dies, it
can’t be resurrected and it loss takes with it culture and customs
and way of seeing the world through its use of metaphor, idiom
and grammatical structuring.

3. Why does Crystal assert that the
English will end with other languages?
¿Por qué Crystal afirma que el
inglés acabará con otras lenguas?

4. Crystal says that English will end with other languages because; first English
is a dominant language. Second, people increasingly learn English to get a
better quality of life. Third, other languages are having imported words of
English and mixed with his language. Fourth, hegemonic position of English
necessarily implies linguistic and cultural discrimination of large sectors of
the population, reducing the participation of other languages in different
sphere, such as world trade, international organizations, scientific
production and education itself. Fifth, globalization has promoted language
policies that aim to end the use of major and subordinate national
languages in the European Union. Finally, Crystal believes that hegemony
of English in various spheres, including the Internet, is inevitable, and the
result of a series of historical circumstances that have led to the spread of
the language.

5. He speaks of powers, as admits that "a
language becomes a global language
through a unique reason: the power of the
people who speak it." The powers
mentioned by Crystal are: political power
exercised by England in the sixteenth
century colonialism; technological power of
England as a result of the Industrial
Revolution in the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries; growth of American economic
power in the nineteenth century; and
cultural power through spheres of influence,
mainly American. It is for these reasons that
English will end with other languages.
