Source C: Linguistic imperialism, Phillipson, 1992

# data[].attributes.body
Source C is an article by the Oxford University Press highlighting the main debate surrounding linguistic imperialism. Is the global teaching of English considered imperialistic?

Phillipson believes that English does not need to be taught as it 'Marginalises the opportunities for widespread multilingual education.' He believes the necessity for learning English is a myth imposed by their colonial history.

The article also refers to how the teaching of English 'enables individuals and economies to develop and compete globally.'

'At least 50% of the world's more than six thousand languages are losing speakers'

'Of the more than 7000 languages that exist in the world, only 10 represent more than 80% of the linguistic presence on the Internet'

'About 90% of the languages may be replaced by dominant languages by the end of the 21st century'

Languages are being endangered and lost at very high rates in favour of more widely spoken, dominant languages, thousands of languages are disappearing and natives are losing language and culture.

The highest statistic of where languages are dying are within Oceania and Asia. In Asia, this is most likely due to the high population density of countries such as India and China. Due to their high density, many cultural dialects and languages are formed and as a result of English becoming a rising lingua franca, these cultural languages are lost; for reasons such as: Cultural Imperialism, Linguistic Imperalism, and Globalisation. In Oceania, countries such as Tuvalu and Palau have low GDP's and people often learn English in order to internationally trade and raise their economic power.

Cultural Imperalism is the act of superimposing one culture over the other. This has increased within the past 10-20 due to the advance in technology. The invention of the internet has created more platforms to share culture.

Imperialism is the act of conquering and taking control of an area or country. When applied to language, linguistic imperalism is the transfer of a dominant language to more people.

Globalisation is the spread of culture, technology, and money. Countries engage in international trade and investment. The internet and communication tools connect people across the globe instantly. Globalisation promotes dominant languages for international business and education.

It happens mostly due to linguistic imperialism.

Language death refers to the decline in the use of a language due to factors such as colonisation and the spread of other languages. Languages such as latin could be considered dead as they are no longer widely spoken, or added to to adapt to new technologies or inventions.
