English - the global language of communication
Throughout the modern history, the
English-speaking countries have, somehow, dominated the global economy.
First, there was The Commonwealth – the British
colonies, which included Canada, India, Australia, New Zealand, and
other parts of the world. The British administration was installed in
those territories, and along with it, domination over every economical
domain like trading and industry.
English was declared the official language of these colonies.
Then, in the last few decades, the USA has become the
largest economical power of the world, reaching a very high level of
development.
Nowadays, it is the European Union’s aim to achieve
a greater degree of economic and monetary harmonization between the
European countries and especially, the member states.
The European Union has its roots in a desire to make
Europe more stable. Since its creation in the early 1950s , the member
states have become intertwined because of a convergence in economic and
monetary union. As the end of the century approaches, more than 60% of
EU member trade is with the other states.
Therefore, the necessity of using a single, global
language has become very obvious. Since 1944, the year the International
Monetary System
was established, English has been the international language of
communication in all domains.
This is proved by the fact that English is
frequently used in official documents of many international
organizations, treaties, contracts, negotiations and summits. Almost
all the personalities in the politics communicate their opinions and
decisions in English, for example, the European Parliament president
Jose Maria Gil - Robles , in his speech on the 27th of April 1998.
International shipping business uses almost
exclusively English.
In Romania, an English- Romanian Shipping Dictionary was published in
1971. It explains the special terminology used in shipping and maritime
trading, and also International Rules which Romania agreed with.(Solas,
Mar. Pol., York Antwerp Rules)
The publishing of dictionaries like this one , all
over the world, has made English a global language of communication, and
it will probably be the same for a long time in the future.
