English Language Invasion

Summary


Chinese language 'damaged by invasion of English words'
English invasion 'threatens French language more than Nazis did'




        In such countries as China and France English language has become a serious issue. Representatives of both countries complain that English takes up a great amount of the everyday vocabulary of Chinese or French people, especially, youth. 
 
       While in France business people change or give English titles to their companies, in China English has become a language of everyday use. However, a great deal of English media production the most popular worldwide websites are prohibited in China. Nevertheless, the linguists of both countries are helpless as some superior personages are not against and even for the “reign” of English language in their own, French or Chinese languages. 

       To sum up, after the desired lingua franca intertwines with the national language and start overtaking its place there appear a few people who get worried about the current situation and the future of the native language. However, the influence and the position of the language dictate its own rules and it is difficult to change things that quickly anchor.
