A MILLION WORDS AND COUNTING: HOW GLOBAL ENGLISH IS REWRITING THE WORLD

Book ID/图书代码： 14780007B13624

English Summary/英文概要： Spread the Word!

What’s all the tamasha about global English? What makes it so robust? What accounts for its traction? Is it due to some kind of viral marketing or data migration? Or is English simply the best of breed among the world’s many languages?

In the new world, over1.35 billion people now speak English. It’s been outsourced to India where 350 million people speak their own variant, Hinglish (fundoo, propone), and to China where 250 million people speak Chinglish (no noising, drinktea). It gets new words virtually every day from every corner of the world and every facet of human existence—from politics (locavore, punditocracy), entertainment (truthiness, brokeback), youth culture (crunk, word!), corporate culture (multitask, scalable), science and technology (quantum, nanotechnology), and the Internet (blogosphere, ROTFLOL).

In fact, English is expected to reach the one million-word mark this year, according to WordMan Paul J.J. Payack. Join him as he takes you on a whirlwind tour of this truly global language, from the realms of the serious (bandwith, subprime) to the less serious (bootylicious, wikiality). Maybe this journey will inspire you to coin some new words of your own.

Chinese Summary/中文概要： 普及语言

几乎所有的典礼都使用全球通用的英语。是什么使得它如此强劲？是什么导致了它的牵引？它是由于一种病毒性营销或数据迁移吗？或者英语只不过是在世界许多语言中最好的一个品种。
在新的世界，将近1.35亿人现在说英语。现在已经倍传播到印度，在那里3.5亿人会说他们自己改编的Hinglish 语言。中国2.5亿人说中式英语。它几乎每天得到新的单词来自世界的每个角落和人类万物的每个方面。从政治，娱乐，青年文化，企业文化，科学技术（量子力学和纳米技术）到网络文化。
事实上，英语预计在今年达到100万单词的市场—根据WordMan Paul J.J. Payack的说法。加入他因为他会带你参观这个全球性旋风语言，从重要性领域到不那么重要的领域。也许这次旅程将启发你创造一些新单词。(DJY)
