With English as a global lingua franca, what other cultures and linguistic traditions are we missing out on? Rosemary Salomone is a linguist, lawyer and the Kenneth Wang Professor of Law at St. John’s University. She joins host Krys Boyd to discuss the implications for a world dominated by English – from legal issues to class divisions. Her book is called “The Rise of English: Global Politics and the Power of Language.”
