| Zusammenfassung: | David Crystal's classic English as a Global Language considers the history, present status and future of the English language, focusing on its role as the leading international language.

However, Crystal explores the subject in a measured but engaging way, always backing up observations with facts and figures. Written in a detailed and fascinating manner, this is a book written by an expert both for specialists in the subject and for general readers interested in the English language. |
