ENGLISH AS AN INTERNATIONAL LINK LANGUAGE

Abstract

Recognizing the emerging significance of the English Language as an International Link Language and its possibility to remain so, this paper traces the history of the dissemination of the English language in all through the British colonialism and make an assessment of its current status at the global level. The paper presumes the language’s bright future on the basis of its macroscopic usage and scope for neologisms. An answer to the questions like, How English language emerged as an International link language? and What were the causes that lead to the emergence of English as an International Link Language?, will be provided with an intricate analysis of the scope and importance of English as an International Link Language in the present scenario. An enlightening discussion regarding the paramount position of the English language as an internal link language of India and its influence on other languages of India will be made on the basis of the questions like, How English was introduced in India by the East India Company? How did it continue to remain the official language of India (along with Hindi) even after independence?, and Why is it widely spoken and taught as the most important foreign language? The contribution of some Indian, Pakistani and Bangladeshi writers will be scrutinized to suit the theme of the current research work.
