Language Contact and Its Outcomes - Kyle Shiellsluvogt
Languages have been coexisting and influencing each other since long before history was recorded. What are the situations in which contact can arise, how are the languages and communities changed in the process, and how can we learn about histories of contact from the languages themselves?

I created these PowerPoint slides for a presentation I delivered during an internship at the Public Affairs Section of the U.S. Embassy in Korea. The audience was a group of Korean university students who
visited the Embassy to learn more about the United States.
Post Brexit EU and the position of English - Robert Phillipsonrceluoa
The distinguished scholarship of Bessie Dendrinos builds on analysis of the politics of education that often constrains social and linguistic justice. English as a hegemonic language in many societies, and in education, nationally and internationally, serves to open doors of capitalist opportunity and privilege for some but closes them for many. Whether a language policy is linguicist (or linguo-racist, to use Bessie’s term) or not is an empirical question. European integration activities since 1945 – ending wars, creating a common market, the euro, etc. – all depend on language policies, supported by translation and interpretation. Prior to 1973, when the UK, Ireland, and Denmark joined the EU, no use was made of English, and French was primus inter pares. In 2016 English is indisputably the dominant language in the internal affairs of EU institutions and of many of its funded ‘actions’. The privileging of English (in finance, research, the Bologna process, etc.) is precisely what Winston Churchill sought to achieve, the entrenchment of Anglo-American power by linguicist and other means, economic, political, and military. The role of language in relation to the many crises of the EU, among them Brexit and the disastrous financial austerity policies imposed on Greece, needs analysis. This is a major challenge for scholars in language policy and language in education policy. For analysis of some of the complexity of the issue, see my article ‘Myths and realities of “global” English’ in the journal Language Policy, on-line from June 2016.
Why english is global language, popular language in the word ,what is language effecter due to any language became a global language and ecomincal power of british
As global communication expands throughout the world, so does the need for a global language. A language that is recognized and understood by people everywhere. In many parts of the world that language has been established, English. In most countries around the globe the English language can be found in some form or another, whether it be an international news broadcast, such as CNN, or a Chicago Bulls tee-shirt. "What centuries of British colonialism and decades of Esperanto couldn’t do, a few years of free trade, MTV, and the Internet has. English dominates international business, politics, and culture more than any other language in human history." (Rohde) For this world to be truly global, there must be some commonality or ease of communication. "If trade and tourism around the world are going to operate and a global economy function and a global culture flourish, a widely shared, reasonably accessible language is requisite."
The French Revolution, which began in 1789, was a period of radical social and political upheaval in France. It marked the decline of absolute monarchies, the rise of secular and democratic republics, and the eventual rise of Napoleon Bonaparte. This revolutionary period is crucial in understanding the transition from feudalism to modernity in Europe.

Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.
