Abstract

English has become an international commodity, like oil and the microchip! Without petrol (i.e. gas) and computers, the world will come to a halt; the English language has made the world a 'global village' by giving it a global language for communication. Salman Rushdie, the renowned novelist, says that 'the English language ceased to be the sole possession of the English some time ago' and it 'grows from many roots.' No one community can claim sole ownership over the English language, which has gone genuinely global. Its use is not restricted to one country or continent; it is used in all the five continents of the world.
