「英語是世界通用語言」這個說法無所不在，而且太過理所當然，我們很少會去思索這個現象的成因。我們可以在國際新聞中聽到各國領袖都說英語，在世界各國隨處可見英語標誌和廣告，旅館或餐廳都通英語，也會提供一份英文菜單。但是，把英語當作母語的國家並非全球最多，世界上甚至有三分之二的人口完全不使用英語。那麼說英語是「世界通用語言」到底是什麼意思？ 以上內容擷取自博客來網路書店

How is technology shaping the way we live, learn, and connect? And what does that mean for young people growing up in a digital-first world?In this bonus episode of Our World, Connected, host Christine Wilson revisits a powerful conversation with Baroness Beeban Kidron, crossbench peer in the House of Lords and founder of the 5Rights Foundation. A leading advocate for children's digital rights, Beeban reflects on the urgent need to rethink how technology is designed and regulated — and the responsibilities of governments, educators, and tech companies in keeping young people safe online.Christine also connects Beeban's insights to other voices from across the series: from linguist David Crystal on how digital culture is reshaping our language, to consultant Larisa Halilovic on how new technologies are impacting on how we communicate — and what we feel we can trust.Together, these conversations explore a central issue of our time: how digital tools are transforming us all — and how we can harness them for connection, creativity, and positive change.Listen to Our World, Connected, brought to you by the British Council.

Como ya hemos hablado, el Hinglish, el Spanglish y el Portuñol son todos ejemplos de mezclas lingüísticas o lenguajes híbridos, donde elementos de dos o más idiomas se entrelazan [74, Conversation History]. Son como "alfombras de lenguas" porque tejen palabras y expresiones de diferentes orígenes.El Hinglish, según nuestras fuentes, es una combinación dinámica de inglés y lenguas específicas del sur de Asia, principalmente el hindi, el urdu o el punjabi [74, Conversation History]. En el Reino Unido, a menudo se refiere al uso de palabras del sur de Asia dentro de una oración predominantemente en inglés, mientras que en la India, es frecuente lo contrario: palabras inglesas se entrelazan en oraciones predominantemente hindi, urdu o punjabi [74, Conversation History]. Esta mezcla puede añadir "sabor único y profundidad emocional" a la comunicación [Conversation History]. Las fuentes nos muestran muchos ejemplos de palabras Hinglish de uso común, como akal (sentido común), izzat (honor), josh (pasión), chai (té), bas! (¡suficiente!), entre muchas otras [74, 141, Conversation History].En contraste:El Spanglish es la fusión específica de español e inglés [Conversation History].El Portuñol (o Portunhol) es una mezcla que combina el portugués y el español [Conversation History].El hilo conductor entre todos ellos es que son ejemplos de alternancia de códigos (code-switching) o mezcla de idiomas, donde los hablantes combinan fluidamente elementos de dos lenguas diferentes dentro de la misma conversación o incluso frase [Conversation History]. Este fenómeno es impulsado a menudo por necesidades de comunicación en el mundo real, la identidad cultural o la evolución natural del lenguaje en contextos multiculturales [Conversation History].La razón por la que solo el Hinglish se destaca en nuestras fuentes con el carácter de "lengua común" es debido a la amplitud y profundidad de su prevalencia, integración e impacto, que no se detalla para el Spanglish o el Portuñol en los textos proporcionados:Enorme Base de Hablantes y Crecimiento Proyectado: Se dice que el Hinglish es "hablado como segunda lengua por 350 millones de indios". Un lingüista británico, David Crystal, incluso sugiere que el Hinglish "podría convertirse pronto en la forma más común de inglés hablado" a nivel mundial. Esta escala es masiva.Profundas Raíces Históricas y Ubicuidad: Las palabras del sur de Asia se han incorporado al inglés británico desde finales del siglo XVI. Estos términos, que alguna vez fueron "emocionantes y extravagantes", se han vuelto tan "comunes" que ahora se consideran "tan británicos como el rosbif y el pudín de Yorkshire, o... el pollo tikka masala". Esto indica una integración cultural profunda y duradera.Integración Cultural y Literaria: El Hinglish "encapsula el corazón y el akal (sentido común) de la cultura del sur de Asia" [Conversation History], siendo descrito como un "híbrido dinámico y vibrante" e incluso el "nacimiento de una lengua" [Conversation History]. Su presencia en obras literarias, como las "Hinglish Versions" de novelas, y diccionarios con entradas detalladas, subraya su estatus funcional y culturalmente significativo.Así, mientras que el Spanglish y el Portuñol son, sin duda, fusiones lingüísticas, el Hinglish es presentado con evidencia de una adopción y una proyección de futuro que le confieren una característica de "lengua común" de una manera única en la información que tenemos.Podríamos ver estas mezclas como diferentes tipos de "cócteles lingüísticos": cada uno tiene una base de ingredientes distinta (los idiomas que lo componen), pero todos comparten la característica de ser una fusión creativa, reflejando la fluidez y adaptabilidad de los hablantes. El Hinglish, con su inmensa y creciente comunidad de hablantes, es como un cóctel que se está convirtiendo rápidamente en un elemento básico en la mesa global.

In Bookish Words & their Surprising Stories (Bodleian, 2025) by Dr. David Crystal, explore how books have played a pivotal role in the history of English vocabulary. The noun itself is one of the oldest words in the language, originating from boc in Old English, and appears in many commonly used expressions today – by the book, bring to book and bookworm – to name a few. Alongside the arrival of the printing press came the development of the newspaper industry. Terminology such as stop the press, front page news and hit the headlines have developed into common English vernacular over time. Still, the emergence of the internet continues to change all languages. This anthology presents a selection of more than 100 words which show the influence of writing, reading and publishing books on our everyday vocabulary over the centuries, telling the stories behind their linguistic origins, and uncovering some surprising twists in the development of their meaning through time. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

In this special episode, Professor David Crystal OBE, one of the world's leading linguists with over 100 books to his name and a global reputation as a writer and lecturer on Early Modern English, talks to Sebastian Michael about Original Pronunciation (OP) – the way William Shakespeare and his contemporaries would have pronounced English at the time, and how this changes our understanding of Shakespeare's works generally, and specifically the sonnets.

In the play, The Merry Wives of Windsor, as well as Hamlet and Richard III, the phrase “declension of pronouns” that comes up as a description of language. That's not a phrase that I remember being taught in English class, and instead relates to Latin, the language of education for Shakespeare's lifetime, and indeed across Europe. Here today to explain for us exactly what a “declension” might be, how to use them, and what it helps to understand about things like nouns, pronouns, and spelling for 16th century English when you explore Shakespeare's plays, is our friend, and returning guest here to That Shakespeare Life, Professor David Crystal Get bonus episodes on Patreon Hosted on Acast.

For this first podcast of 2024, father and son authors David Crystal and Ben Crystal share their (many!) favorite quotations they've collected in their handy and handsome book, Everyday Shakespeare: Lines for Life. The two Crystals reveal they combined their perspectives as practitioner and linguist, and share how they've explored the corners of the canon and found gold; the satisfaction of breakfast-time rituals; how words and their meanings – and their pronunciations! – have changed over the centuries; and the wonder of discovering the diversity of Shakespeare's voices and characters.

Ben Crystal and David Crystal – authors of multiple works, including Shakespeare's Words and The Oxford Illustrated Shakespeare Dictionary – discuss their new book Everyday Shakespeare: Lines For Life, a collection of overlooked gems plucked from the canon, organized by monthly themes, and suitable for many situations and every reader. The Crystals share how they selected each quote (and how they wanted to avoid the famous ones); how when you pan for Shakespeare gold you find more than you expect; how their unique approaches to Shakespeare reflect their approaches to life; the variety of places they plant their geek flags; the wonderful realization that the more you dig into the words, the more the author recedes; and the surprising beauty of getting hit in the heart rather than the head.

If you've ever said “it's Greek to me” or “the world is my oyster", met “star-crossed lovers” or been dragged into a “wild goose chase”, if you've ever waited with “bated breath” or wanted to “melt into thin air”, then you were living in the words of Shakespeare.In many ways, we all live in the world that he created. Today's guests are a father and son duo who have collectively authored dozens of books on Shakespeare. Their new book Everyday Shakespeare:Lines For Life is a daily selection of Shakespearean phrases from different plays. David Crystal is a writer and linguist.

Michael Rosen talks to Ben and David Crystal about the Shakespeare quotes we use every day, without even realising. We've all heard someone roll their eyes and say “the lady doth protest too much, me thinks” - or head back to their desk muttering “once more unto the breach!” Shakespeare had a way with words that makes his writing extremely relatable, even today. Ben and David Crystal tell Michael why so many of the bard's sayings have slipped into our everyday chat. Producer: Alice McKee, BBC Audio Bristol

Our guest in this episode of Language Chats is Sydney-based writer, editor, producer and scholar Sheila Ngọc Phạm who has worked across radio, print, online and film. Languages are a big part of Sheila's life, as a bilingual English/Vietnamese Australian whose interest in language led her to study linguistics and learn a number of other languages through her travels and experiences in life so far. We chat about her linguistic background as the child of Vietnamese parents growing up in Sydney, her love and enjoyment of language, her work on two particular podcast series (Tongue Tied and Fluent on ABC Radio National and My Bilingual Family on SBS) which focus on language in Australia, the challenges for those trying to raise children bilingually, multilingualism in Australia, and more. Sheila is also a member of our community on Facebook, Language Lovers AU Community - join us there too if you'd like to be a part of the conversation and connect with other like-minded language lovers!

It seems to be human nature that the more money you have in your wallet, the more likely you are to spend it. And it also turns out that what kind of money is in your wallet influences how much you spend as well. Listen as this episode begins with some interesting psychology that will help you spend less so you keep more of your money. http://www.forbes.com/video/4061993829001/ I bet you have had someone design a logo or brochure or website for you and then when they show you what they did, they ask, “What do you think”? It has happened to me several times and the problem is, I don't know what to think. I don't know what makes a well-designed brochure or website. I don't know what other people will think when they see it or what motivates people to respond. If this has happened to you, you'll want to hear my guest Susan Weinschenk. Susan has a Ph.D. in Psychology, she is the Chief Behavioral Scientist and CEO at The Team W, Inc. (https://theteamw.com/) as well as an Adjunct Professor at the University of Wisconsin. She is also author of the book 100 Things Every Designer Needs to Know About People (https://amzn.to/323kNKK).  Think about how many times a day you speak to other people. Conversation is the primary way we communicate. Yet, you likely haven't learned much about the science of conversation. The fact is that a conversation can beautiful and brilliant or it can be awkward and difficult. When you understand how it all work, you will be a better conversationalist. Joining me to explain the science of conversation is David Crystal. David is a writer and editor, and his latest book is called Let's Talk: How English Conversation Works (https://amzn.to/32e4qLF). When your doctor takes your blood pressure – does he check both arms? He or she should check both because the results are likely different.

Peaky Blinders may have gone some way towards helping the magical Birmingham accent out of the pit of scorn it's been abandoned in for decades, but many Brits still confidently pick it as their least favourite, without necessarily knowing why. WE know why, though, thanks to the extremely well informed and universally respected linguist David Crystal. We saved this little bit back from the RP episode he featured in, because it truly deserved its own bit of the limelight. Three cheers for all accents!  Tickets for the live episode at https://www.eventbrite.com/e/the-vo-social-live-commercial-demos-tickets-142531544687  Sign up for the newsletter at www.thevosocial.com  Theme tune written and performed by Martin Stirrup under this Creative Commons license. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/thevosocial/message
