Read the following passage and decide whether the statements are True or False.
During the history of mankind, there have been several more or less universal languages or lingua
francas, such as Latin (and Greek) in the Roman empire, mediaeval Latin in Western Europe, later French
and English. Universality is of course relative; it means universality in the “known world” or “civilized
world”, or just in a large empire. No language has been really universal (global), but the current position
of English comes closest. The position of a universal language has always been gained as a by-product of
some sort of imperialism: a nation has conquered a large area and more or less assimilated it into its own
culture, including language, thus forming an empire. Usually the language of the conqueror has become
the language of the state and the upper class first, then possibly spread over the society, sometimes almost
wiping out the original languages of the conquered areas. Sometimes - especially in the Middle Ages - the
imperialism has had a definite cultural and religious nature which may have been more important than
brute military and economic force.
As regards to the English language, it would have remained as a national language of the English, had it
not happened so that the English first conquered the rest of the British Isles, then many other parts of the
world. Later, some English colonies in a relatively small part of America rebelled, formed the United
States of America, and expanded a lot. They formed a federal state where a variant of the English
language was one of the few really uniting factors. And that federal state became, as we all know, wealthy
and important. It also exercised traditional imperialism, but more importantly it gained a very important
role in world economy and politics. Whether you call the US influence imperialism or neo-imperialism is
a matter of opinion, but it certainly has similar effects on maintaining and expanding the use of English as classical imperialism.
This probably sounds like political criticism, but it is intended to be descriptive only. Personally, I do not
regard imperialism as an incarnation of the Evil; it has had both positive and negative effects, and in
many cases imperialism has been a necessary step from chaos to civilization.
63. English is the first universal language of human beings.
64. English has more speakers than Latin, Greek and French did.
65. The position of universal language comes along with imperialism.
66. Cultural influence benefits conquerors even more than military or economic force. M i
