摘要
英语的统治地位似乎是无可争辩的。一些语言学者认为英语是一种全球化的工具,它向整个世界施加西方文化和价值观的影响。对另一些学者来说,英语不是一成不变的,它的传播不一定要伴随着地方语言的衰退。斯里兰卡的后殖民时期的英语教育及荷兰对英语的接受,给我们提供了一个机会去观察全球是如何适应英语的,为国际英语的出现找出依据。
The dominance of English language appears to be indisputable. Yet according to some linguistic scholars, English is a tool of globalization imposing western cultures and values throughout the world. For others, English is not inflexible, and its spread is not necessarily accompanied by the diminishment of local languages. The post-colonial English of Sri Lankan and Dutch acceptance of Eng- lish offer an opportunity to observe the adaption to global English, providing evidences for the occurrence of international English.
