While tracing the spread of English via Internet technology, this program
considers the implications of such de facto linguistic hegemony in a world of
high-tech haves and have-nots. In addition, the program examines the
simultaneous standardization and fragmentation of English as it is acquired by
non-native English-speakers in Africa and Asia. Interviews with specialists drawn from
WorldCom and Sony subsidiary So-Net, the Library of Congress and the British Library,
CNN and the BBC, and elsewhere provide a wide-angle perspective on digital content,
language translation utilities, and initiatives to bridge the digital and linguistic
divides. |
