English as a Global Language (Canto Classics)

This book gives more insight into the ascension of English as a global language, David crystal has given a thorough study of the subject and it is an excellent source of information.

David Crystal never dissapoints a linguist. Everything is explained so that everybody can access those materials but at the same time he is very meticulous and gives good points and explanations. I use it for university and it is great.

One of the greatest books I’ve ever read! It is deeply instructive and enlightening. It would offer the essence of social and historical background in the realm of English language as well as the importance of Global Language for human mutual understanding and existence. It may provide the insight of intelligibility and identity under individual and social sphere. It would be good to have an optimistic view of the socio-linguistic future!

O livro está novinho, perfeito.

Arrivato in ottime condizioni, è un libro che può aiutare a capire un fenomeno che forse molti non si domandano da cosa possa provenire come quello dell’inglese come lingua ‘mondiale’

I read this book from cover to cover, very quickly. Crystal definitely provides some useful history and insight. I think he breaks a lot of assumptions about language.
