The connection between English and computer technology Business as a vital part of American English Diplomacy and technology language In many countries where English is not the native language, you are considered highly educated if you can speak the language properly. Computer technologies has gained the reliance of humans, by providing appreciable efficiency to American daily lives. The inventions of new technologies have always helped many Americans, and people all over the worldNearly everyone under age of 45 uses a computer daily, including mobile phones that are as capable as a laptop or tabs. With the widespread use of networked computer facilitated by the internet, Americans can purchase products, do their banking, make reservations, share and consume media, communicate and others. Today, computer technologies have changed the way we write, read, and communicate with each other in ways no one could have predicted, specifically email, text messaging and e books. Nowadays technology also moves incredibly swiftly, rendering new words faster than ever. New words are enriching the vocabulary of English language. Languages that do not change over time is considered dead language; to accommodate technologies, people have devised abbreviations, version of words made out of a combination of letters, letters representing syllables, and logograms in order to be able to communicate more quickly. Another noticeable change is that fewer face-to-face conversations are taking place. Most people are choosing texting over talking. All of this aside, modern technology has had some very recondite effects on the English language. While technological innovation and dissemination have always influenced on the change of the English language, some scientists prove that the scale of such influence today may lead to more rapid and significant changes than in the past due to the nature of contemporary technological innovations. Generally speaking, English is the universal language on the net, but it has no official status, and it will never have. Spoken language currently has only a limited presence on the internet, through the use of sound clips, films, videos; but the use of speech will undoubtedly grow as technology develops, and it will not be long before we see the routine use of the interactive voice. Technology is always a good place to look for lexical change. The internet, for example, has given rise to a lot oof neologisms(new words or expressions). There are a lot of new words and expressions that have become common, including the tech-friendly terms like mouse potato (someone who spends lots of time in front of a computer), ringtone (the ever-popular sound of an incoming cell phone call) and laptop (small computer that we can keep on the lap). We use them every day and don’t even think about them. Language and technology are continually evolving. In today's shrinking world of instant communication with far off places and people, as well as the effect of TV and movies on culture everywhere, there is so much more to life on the Internet. The Internet has become an essential tool for communication over the last few years. People go online for an infinite number of reasons - to chat with coworkers, check daily papers, research homework problems, send e-mail, even to playgames. With the advent of these communication interfaces, it’s no surprise that the language we use online has changed with the times. The variety of applications of new technology leads to new stylistic forms and increases the expressive range of a language, especially at the informal end of the spectrum. The language used online is that of real people of great diversity. English has become the dominant language of the Internet. American English has fast become the most widely used language in the world of trade and commerce over the past decade or two. As a result, having an excellent knowledge of English for business has become vital for success in any employee’s career. No more so than in that of international students seeking better career prospects in an English speaking country. The spread of theAmerican English language can be traced back to the days of the colonial expansion and has oriented world, English is widely used as the major medium of communication for both small business concerns and large corporate entities alike. As the Lingua Franca in almost all of the developing nations all over the world, English is the preferred language in the business community as many business partners nowadays do not speak the same native language. It can cross international borders and transcend language compatibility barriers that have made English the most sought after language in today’s corporate world. The proficiency of the language has also made it a vital part of success in the highly competitive corporate world. Many reputed organisations around the world rely on English as a means of communication in everything from emails to corporate documentation to even popular and well-read business resources both in print and over electronic media. English is being used as the official language in over 70 countries. Fluency in English, both written and spoken plays a critical role in many aspects of corporate life from securing employment to communicating with clientele and achieving cohesive business partnerships all over the world. English has now become a global language for business all over the world to such an extent that it is the standard official language in certain industries such as the shipping and airline industries. It has resulted in the knowledge of English being a near-mandatory requirement for critical jobs such as airline pilots and naval officers, etc. Apart from having an impressive command of spoken English today’s competitive corporate culture demands an equally impressive command of written English as well. It is mainly because almost all forms of business communication such as emails, presentations, sales and marketing and even corporate legal documentation are now carried out in English.As a result, having an excellent knowledge of English for business has become vital for success in any employee’s career. No more so than in that of international students seeking better career prospects in an English speaking country. The spread of the English language can be traced back to the days of the colonial expansion and has fast become the default language in all official forms of communication in most countries around the world. In today’s business oriented world, English is widely used as the major medium of communication for both small business concerns and large corporate entities alike.

What language should one use when speaking to diplomats, or what language should diplomats use? Or, to be more precise, what language/languages should a (young) diplomat try to learn to be more successful in his profession?outcome of language change. For many years, sociolinguists havetried to study language change by examining the social contexts of the speech communities. It is now known that variability is a prerequisite for a change in language; hence, by extrapolating from the patterns of variation we find today we can make some predictions about the directions change is moving in.The term "language in diplomacy" obviously can be interpreted in several ways. First, as tongue ("mother" tongue or an acquired one), the speech "used by one nation, tribe, or other similar large group of people"; in this sense we can say, for example, that French used to be the predominant diplomatic language in the first half of the 20th century. Second, as a special way of expressing the subtle needs of the diplomatic profession; in this way it can be said, for example, that the delegate of such-and-such a country spoke of the given subject in totally non-diplomatic language. Also, the term can refer to the particular form, style, manner or tone of expression; such as the minister formulated his conditions in unusually strong language. It may mean as well the verbal or non-verbal expression of thoughts or feelings: sending the gunships is a language that everybody understands. The history of our interest in language and diplomacy is paradigmatic of our activities in the field of information technology and diplomacy. While technology is replacing or at least changing the nature of many functions and methods of traditional diplomacy such as routine consular activities, communications, and information gathering, at the same time it is leading us to re-assert the importance of other core issues and techniques, including language use, negotiation, and such elements where human creativity can be assisted but not replaced by machines. We have recently noticed a convergence between the centrality of texts in Internet-based communication and diplomacy. The Internet has reinforced the importance of texts as the key medium of modern human communication, in a variety of forms such as e-mail, websites, and hypertext-based documents. And for diplomacy texts have always been crucial: the richness and complexity of diplomatic activities, including negotiations, representation, social activities and media coverage is crystallised in texts - diplomatic documents. Technology is already aiding with the use of texts in diplomacy in a number of ways, contributing to the sharing, storing and preservation of documents. IT assisted methods of analysis such as DiploAnalytica can reveal the layers of information and knowledge, both focal and tacit, contained in diplomatic documents. IT also offers possibilities for the creation of more adequate documents, both in working and final phases. Diplomatic negotiations conducted via the Internet remove the trappings of direct communication such as body language and eye-contact, allowing negotiators to focus on the document text. From the side of technology, given current trends, it seems likely that the upcoming phase of Internet development will focus on management of unstructured information - texts and documents experience in diplomacy has shown that the Internet can enrich language use: it is not a question of either/or. We believe that this applies also to other language-related fields such as linguistics and literary theory. Linguistics circles are currently debating changes IT will bring to the function and destiny of language and text. While postmodernists are burying narrative altogether, traditionalists are crusading against technology. As in many other situations in the history of technology, time and use will even the playing field and through the interplay between old and new, between old dusty manuscripts and new hypertexts, a new paradigm will develop which won't be either/or but both. One of the fundamental facts about language is that it keeps changing in time, although it is a slow process. It is slow enough that the replacement of forms and rules is not overt and hardly noticeable within a generation. However, we are often aware that the generations before and after us use different forms and rules. Language change is constant and pervasive affecting the lexicon, meaning, sound and all aspects of the grammar of a particular language. The speed of change also varies from language to language due to the differences of the social networks of the speakers that determine the dynamic and outcome of language change. For many years, sociolinguists havetried to study language change by examining the social contexts of the speech communities. It is now known that variability is a prerequisite for a change in language; hence, by extrapolating from the patterns of variation we find today we can make some predictions about the directions change References
