The history of English since 1800 has been a story of expansion---in geography, in speakers, and in the purposes for which English is used. Geographically, English has been spread around the world, first by British colonization and empire-building, and more recently by the prominence of America in world affairs. The number of its speakers has undergone a population explosion, not alone of native speakers but also of nonnative speakers of English as an additional language. And the uses to which English is put have ramified with the growth of science, technology, and commerce.
要するに,後期近代英語期は,地理,人口,機能という3面における同時的拡大の時代である.見方によれば,言語帝国主義への道をひた走っていたともいえる.
