nglish has fast become the number one
language for everything from business
Pfc» and science, diplomacy and education,
• ^ entertainment and environmentalism
to socializing and beyond—virtually any human activ¬
ity unfolding on a global scale. Worldwide,
nonnative
speakers of English now outnumber natives three to
one; and in China alone, more people use English than
in the United States—a remarkable feat for a language
that got its start as a mongrel tongue on an island fif¬
teen hundred years ago.
Through the fascinating stories of thirty English
words used and understood in nearly all corners of the
globe, The English Is Coming! takes readers on an eye-
opening journey across culture and commerce, war
and peace, and time and space. These mini-histories
shed new light on everyday words: the strange
turns of fate by which their meanings evolved and
their new roles as the building blocks of the first
language ever to forge a global community.
Exploring such familiar terms as shampoo (from a
Hindi word for scalp and body hygiene long practiced
in India); robot (coined by Czech painter Josef
Čapek
for his brother Karel s
1921
play about man-made
creatures); credit (rooted in a prehistoric phrase of
sacred significance: to put heart into )-, and dozens
of others, Dunton-Downer reveals with clarity and
humor how these linguistic artifacts embody the resil
-
ience, appeal, adoptability, and wild inclusiveness
that English, through a series of historical accidents,
gained on its road to worldwide reach. These words
explain not only how English has managed to link
our distant and often disparate pasts but also how it is
(continued on back flap)
(continuedfrom front flap)
propelling humankind to a future that we can, for the
first time, talk about and shape in a language that now
belongs to all of us: Global English.
Perfect for culture buffs, armchair travelers,
and language lovers alike, The English Is Coming!
is sure to inspire truly global conversations for
decades to come.
