1. The headline of the article is “English as a World Language”. It comes up from textbook “Headway: Student’s Book, Upper-Intermediate” by John and Liz Soars. It is dated 1996. The article is placed on page 2. The author of the article is unknown.
2. This issue refers to the field of linguistics and concerns the points from the history and some features of the English language.
3. The central topic of the article is history, usage, basic characteristics and future of English.
4. The article opens in a description of the English language in Shakespeare’s time. The author says that only a few million people spoke English at that time and it wasn’t very important as it was unknown to the rest of the world. Then he explains how English became a world language because of its establishment as a mother tongue outside England in the 17th and later in the 19th and 20th centuries, assisted by massive immigration. Further on, the author reveals that people who speak English can be divided into three groups: speaking it as native language, learning it as a second one or being forced to use it for some practical purpose. He backs the given information with statistics that 75% of the world’s mail and 60% of all the telephone calls are in English. After that, the article informs is about several basic characteristics of the language. It brings to the forefront the simplicity of form. Going on, the author emphasizes the flexibility, which means using one and the same word as different parts of speech, for example, drink, smile, walk, etc. And finally the author tells about the openness of English vocabulary, which involves free admission of words from other languages.
The author draws a conclusion saying that geographically English is the most widespread language on Earth. But he admits that it is second only to Mandarin Chinese in number of people speaking it.
He tries to predict that English will continue developing and spreading, but that doesn’t mean all other languages will die out.
5. I find this article very interesting and informative. I quite agree with the author who says English is a world language.
The article is aimed to acquaint the readers with some aspects of the English language. It is intended for people learning English.
