1
- English is the most widely spoken language on the planet.
2
Research estimates that there are upwards of 1.5 billion English speakers worldwide.
3
That's billion with a B, more than 18% of the entire global population.
4
But how did English become the most widely spoken language in the world, and why are there so many different kinds of Englishes?
5
Well, the first kind of answers the second.
6
There are so many different world Englishes because there are just so many English speakers, with diverse cultural and societal influences impacting their language use.
7
I'm speaking American English because I was born, raised.
8
and educated in the United States, but there are over 160 different Englishes around the world.
9
And as more people learn English, more varieties of English are developing.
10
It's even the language of the air and of the sea, Aviation English and Seaspeak.
11
In fact, English language education is considered so crucial that 138 countries require English to be taught as part of the mandatory core curriculum.
12
That's 70% of the countries in the world, and another 40 offered as an optional course of study.
13
So in total, at least 91% of countries have some sort of formal English language curriculum.
14
But the real question is why English, and why not some other language?
15
Let's jump in.
16
I'm Dr. Erica Brozovsky, and this is "Otherwords".
17
- [Speaker] "Otherwords".
18
- English wasn't always that popular.
19
In fact, French used to be the go-to language for diplomacy and business when communicating between entities that didn't share the same language, otherwise known as a lingua franca.
20
Now, lingua franca literally means language of the Franks, which at the time of its creation, really referred to all Western Europeans, not just the people who live in what is now France.
21
It derives its same from the original Lingua Franca, capital L, capital F, which developed in the Mediterranean basin through borrowing from several languages and was used for trade and diplomacy in that area from the 11th to 18th centuries.
22
Capitalized Lingua Franca is actually a pigeon language, but that's a topic for another day.
23
Back to French.
24
After the Norman Conquest in the 11th century, William the Conquerer installed French-speaking nobles to rule England, who quickly replaced English with French in all domains of power, from the courts of law to the church.
25
Although the peasants still spoke English, the aristocracy maintained French as their preferred language for the next few hundred years.
26
And by the 14th century, French was the most widely spoken language in Europe.
27
By the 17th century, France was the leading land power in Europe, and French was well established as the language of prestige, replacing Latin as the language of diplomacy in international relations.
28
So why aren't we all speaking French right now?
29
Well, one, we aren't all diplomats, but even if we were, there was a huge global power shift in the the 20th century, (canon fires) the World Wars.
30
English was already predominant in the technology and innovation sectors thanks to the Industrial Revolution.
31
But after the first World War, the negotiated treaties were written not just in French, but also English, which was a big deal, giving English space in the diplomacy scene.
32
After World War II, France was frankly no longer a dominant power.
33
English, the defacto language of the new major economic powerhouse, the United States, became the language of the economy, and money talks.
34
Put simply, English is the most popular language in the world because of money and power.
35
And American English is particularly popular because of pop culture influences imported all over the world, including TV, music, food, and cinema.
36
So that answers our first question, but what about the second one?
37
Why are there so many different varieties of English?
38
Well, first, there is no set standard English.
39
Unlike French, whose standard on everything from usage and vocabulary to grammar, and even the dictionary, is enforced by the Academie Francaise, English does not have any such authoritative governing body determining correctness, which means we get a lot of variation between Englishes spoken all around the world, and they're all proper and authentic Englishes.
40
Beyond that, it's really the same reason why anyone talks differently from anyone else.
41
There are cultural, social, historical, political, and geographical factors that contribute to the way we all speak.
42
Within the United States, we see English as based on cultural heritage, like African-American English, Chicano English, and Cajun English, or on a region like Pittsburghese or Appalachian English.
43
And if you're from England, you know the difference between Yorkshire and Lancaster English, even though the counties are only two and a half hours apart.
44
Many global Englishes are influenced by local languages.
45
For example, Singapore English or Singlish, which is based on British English because of that Colonial history, includes elements such as discourse particles, and loan words from other local languages, including Malay, Hokkien, and Tamil.
46
The same is true with Nigerian English, where there weren't words in British English that expressed certain cultural concepts that were then borrowed from Native languages of the region.
47
Linguists have attempted to organize the various Englishes into a model.
48
The most famous is Braj Kachru's three-circle paradigm where countries are labeled inner circle, outer circle, and expanding circle.
49
The inner circle contains the countries whose primary language is English.
50
The outer circle contains countries where English is used as an official language or a second language, typically countries that were colonized by the inner circle.
51
And the expanding circle is where English is widely used but learned as a foreign language.
52
In other words, everywhere else.
53
This lends a hierarchical vibe, but if you've been following along, you know that no one language is better than any other.
54
There are multiple scenarios about what could happen next.
55
Maybe all of our Englishes will converge because we're all so much more interconnected, or oppositely, in a Tower of Babel moment, they'll become so different as to be mutually unintelligible.
56
Unlikely. More likely, if English doesn't remain the most widely spoken, it's because another economic powerhouse sways the tide of language popularity in a different direction.
57
But for now, English is the foremost world language.
58
In an increasingly globalized world, the most important and exciting part about all these different Englishes is the fact that if you speak English, you can communicate with literally a billion more people than you otherwise could.
59
And if you can speak multiple languages, well, then you're ahead of the game.
60
Replacing Latin as a language of diplomacy and international relations.
61
Now, lingua franca, literal, franca, franca.
62
English wasn't always that popular.
63
Back to French.

왜 이 비디오로 말하기 연습을 해야 할까요?

이 비디오는 영어가 전 세계에서 가장 널리 사용되는 언어가 된 이유와 다양한 영어의 종류에 대해 설명합니다. 이러한 주제는 실제 말하기 연습에 매우 유용하며, 대화의 맥락을 이해하는 데 도움이 됩니다. 비디오에서 제시된 정보를 바탕으로 영어 쉐도잉을 통해 훌륭한 스피커로 성장할 수 있습니다. 특히, IELTS 스피킹 준비를 위한 비디오 선정에 적합합니다. 영어 발음을 교정하고 새로운 어휘를 익히는 데 있어 좋은 자료가 됩니다.

문맥 속의 문법 및 표현

이 비디오에서 사용된 몇 가지 주요 구조를 살펴보겠습니다:

  • Be + 동사 + 과거분사: "English is considered..."와 같은 구조는 수동태를 통해 특징을 설명하는 데 유용합니다.
  • 부사절: "As more people learn English..."는 시간적 조건을 나타내며, 대화에 깊이를 더합니다.
  • 현재완료: "English has become..."는 과거와 현재의 연결을 통해 발전 상황을 설명하는 데 적합합니다.
  • 사례 제시: "For example, Singapore English..."와 같은 표현은 진행 중인 내용을 구체적으로 설명할 때 사용합니다.

일반적인 발음 함정

비디오에서 주목할 만한 몇 가지 발음 함정을 소개합니다:

  • de facto /dɪ ˈfæctoʊ/: 많은 사람들이 이 단어를 잘못 발음합니다. 두 개의 음절로 구분하여 발음하는 것이 중요합니다.
  • lingua franca: 이 표현은 여러 언어가 혼합된 복잡한 구성으로 발음이 어려울 수 있습니다.
  • prestige /prɛˈstiːʒ/: 첫 음절에 강세를 두어 자연스럽게 발음해야 합니다.

이러한 단어 및 구문은 shadow speak 연습에 적합하여 자연스러운 회화 스타일을 익히는 데 도움이 됩니다. 발음 교정을 통해 자신감을 얻고, 왜 영어가 세계에서 중요한 언어인지 이해해가는 과정을 통해 더욱 발전할 수 있습니다.

쉐도잉이란? 영어 실력을 빠르게 키우는 과학적 방법

쉐도잉(Shadowing)은 원래 전문 통역사 훈련을 위해 개발된 언어 학습 기법으로, 다언어 학자인 Dr. Alexander Arguelles에 의해 대중화된 방법입니다. 핵심 원리는 간단하지만 매우 강력합니다: 원어민의 영어를 들으면서 1~2초의 짧은 지연으로 즉시 소리 내어 따라 말하는 것——마치 '그림자(shadow)'처럼 화자를 따라가는 것입니다. 문법 공부나 수동적인 청취와 달리, 쉐도잉은 뇌와 입 근육이 동시에 실시간으로 영어를 처리하고 재현하도록 훈련합니다. 연구에 따르면 이 방법은 발음 정확도, 억양, 리듬, 연음, 청취력, 말하기 유창성을 크게 향상시킵니다. IELTS 스피킹 준비와 자연스러운 영어 소통을 원하는 분들에게 특히 효과적입니다.
