1. For a positive look at the spread of English, see David Crystal's English as a Global Language (Cambridge: Cambridge University Press, 1997). Robert Phillipson's Linguistic Imperialism. (Oxford: Oxford University Press, 1992) presents an opposite view, suggesting a conspiracy within the English language-teaching profession to undercut local languages.

3. David Graddol's The Future of English? (London: British Council, 1997) contains a number of useful graphs, maps, and tables about the global spread of English and discusses potential linguistic rivals. Joshua Fishman, Andrew Conrad, and Alma Rubal-Lopez, eds., Imperial English: Status Change in Former British and American Colonies, 1940-1990 (Berlin: Mouton de Gruyter, 1996) provides a comprehensive look at the English language in countries formerly under British or American authority and questions whether "linguistic imperialism" properly characterizes the role of English in these countries today.
