Globalisation and English

" Over the past 100 years its globalisation -accelerated by new technology - that has had the greatest impact on the English language. English is a world language now, the dominant language of science, computing and academic in general."
                                        -Dr. Maria Leedham
English language is a language before Globalisation; English is a language after Globalisation. Globalisation and English language are said to work as pull factors for one another. English language plays a major role in the progress of globalisation. Globalisation of trade and commerce, increasing diversities of work force with different set of values have increased the importance of English language usage.
 Globalisation has brought English language into limelight. The language has become a silver bowl to earn one's bread and butter. It is not only a means of international commerce, it has become increasingly essential for inter-state commerce and communication.
 People stayed in the area they grew up in, but we've seen tremendous changes since then in international travel and in the growth of the internet. English has a very large vocabulary and absorbs many words from other languages. That process will carry on through globalisation.
 Finally, English and globalisation are inseparable, living one on another in the present day world like body and soul of a human being.
" English rules" is an old phrase, "English language rules" is new phrase emerge out of Globalisation.

W. B. Yeats as a modern poet

                    Introduction William Yeats is often considered to be the 'last romantic' as opposed to being the founding father of modern poetry. Yet one can not simply place Yeats into just one mould, one rigid and defined style of poetry because as a writer during both periods of Romanticism and Modernism, Yeats straddles the line between the two periods and incorporates 'romantic ideologies' into his modern work. His poems seen as the examples of modern liyerature. In his poems, we found astounding variety, political note, realism, religion, mysticism and so on. And all these matters have made him a true modern poet. By nature he was a dreamer, a thinker,who fell under the spell of the folklore and the superstitions of the Irish peasantry. He is a prominent poet in modern times for his sense of moral wholeness of humanity and history.             Elements of Mysticism Yeats may be credited primary with the owner of contributing the elements of myst
