существует мнение, что в китае больше говорящих по- людей, чем в соединенных штатах. вполне возможно - в общей сложности языком как родным или иностранным сегодня пользуются 1,8 миллиарда человек. это позволяет признать его языком межэтнического общения - lingua franca.причины того, почему язык стал , всесторонне описаны таким признанным ученым-лингвистом как дэвид кристал (d.crystal, english as a global language). , социальные и факторы, в сочетании с характеристиками самого языка, к тому, что стал языком торговли, дипломатии и, наконец, интернета.несмотря на то, что считается, что в языке больше всего слов (около 800 000) и наиболее богатые синонимические ряды, существуют и такие его искусственно созданные вариации как basic english и special english. в них используется ограниченное количество слов и конструкций для облегчения изучения, понимания и, в конечном итоге, использования языка.как справедливо отмечает д. кристал, никогда ранее люди не путешествовали так много и так часто, и никогда ранее не было такого количества деловых и культурных контактов между разными . именно поэтому язык необходим, изучение языка как иностранного становится все более популярным, а переводческие ресурсы все более востребованы.

  there is an opinion that in china more than speaking english people, than in the united states. quite probably - in total english as native or foreign 1,8 billion people today use. it allows to recognize it as language of interethnic communication - lingua franca.the reasons of why english became global, are comprehensively described by such recognized scientist-linguist as david cristal (d.crystal, english as a global language). historical, social and economic factors, in a combination to characteristics of the language, led to that english became language of trade, diplomacy and, at last, the internet.in spite of the fact that it is considered that in english most of all words (about 800 000) and the richest synonymic ranks, exist also its such artificially created variations as basic english and special english. in them the limited quantity of words and designs for simplification of studying, understanding and, finally, language use is used.as fairly marks out d. cristal, never earlier people traveled very much and so often, and never earlier was such number of business and cultural contacts between the different people. for this reason global language is necessary, english studying as foreign becomes more and more popular, and translational resources are more and more demanded.
