Too often the English language industry aggressively promotes itself as some sort of ?uplifting?, ?essential?, ?proper? or even ?better? means of communication than any other language. Unfortunately, its relentless global outreach is taking place at the direct expense, and the active denigration, of local and regional languages ? not to mention individual identities. English Language as Hydra brings together the voices of linguists, literary figures and teaching professionals in a wide-ranging exposé of this monstrous Hydra in action on four continents. It provides a showcase of the diverse and powerful impacts that this ever-evolving, gluttonous beast has had on so many non-English language cultures - as well as the surreptitious, drug-like ways in which it can infiltrate individual psyches. 410 0$aLinguistic diversity and language rights ;$v9. 606 $aLanguages in contact$zPacific Area 606 $aEnglish language$zForeign countries 606 $aEnglish language$xInfluence on foreign languages 606 $aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects 606 $aEnglish language$xSocial aspects 607 $aPacific Area$xLanguages 608 $aElectronic books. 615 0$aLanguages in contact 615 0$aEnglish language 615 0$aEnglish language$xInfluence on foreign languages. 615 0$aEnglish language$xPolitical aspects. 615 0$aEnglish language$xSocial aspects. 676 $a306.44 701 $aRapatahana$b Vaughan$01037203 701 $aBunce$b Pauline$01037204 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910452568203321 996 $aEnglish language as hydra$92458016 997 $aUNINA
