Book for Research Paper
            “Globish: How the English Language Became the World’s Language” got my attention because I have always been intrigued about this question.  In the world there are several languages and all of them are grammatically complex and interesting. However, English has developed a powerful role in all worlds’ societies, especially in the world of business. On this book Robert MacCrum starts his presentation talking about the Pre- Roman Britain and its power during the nineteenth century. He also describes how this power spread out to America, a colony of the island nation. America became a military, industrial and business powerful nation and English became “the worldwide dialect of the third millennium.”

  1. Great choice! It's a new book (published last spring) and it seems very exciting. I'll look forward to hearing more about it from you.
