EXPLORING THE IMPACT OF ENGLISH DIASPORA ON GLOBAL COMMUNICATION

Abstract

This review research paper aims to investigate the impact of the English diaspora on global communication. It seeks to understand how the dispersion of English-speaking populations worldwide influences language dynamics, cross-cultural interactions, and communication trends on a global scale. The paper adopts a multidisciplinary theoretical framework drawing from sociolinguistics, cultural studies, migration studies, and communication theories. It explores concepts such as language diffusion, linguistic imperialism, cultural hybridity, and identity formation within diasporic communities. A comprehensive literature review methodology is employed to analyze and synthesize existing research on the English diaspora and its effects on global communication. The study encompasses diverse perspectives and empirical studies from various regions and linguistic contexts. The findings reveal the multifaceted impact of the English diaspora on global communication, including language spread, linguistic diversity, cultural exchange, power dynamics, and identity negotiation. It highlights both positive aspects, such as increased opportunities for global collaboration, and challenges like linguistic inequality and cultural homogenization. This research contributes to a deeper understanding of the complex interplay between language, culture, and migration in shaping contemporary communication landscapes. It informs policymakers, educators, and communication professionals about the implications of the English diaspora for language policies, intercultural communication strategies, and global citizenship education. By synthesizing and critically analyzing existing literature, this paper offers a unique perspective on the English diaspora's influence on global communication. It underscores the importance of acknowledging linguistic diversity, promoting intercultural dialogue, and fostering inclusive communication practices in an increasingly interconnected world.
