Resposta esperada

Thesis: English as a global lingua franca accelerates exchange but also creates barriers that shape who produces and accesses knowledge. Science: English streamlines publication and collaboration; for example, international journals predominantly publish in English, which speeds peer review but limits visibility for nonnative writers. Economy: English proficiency often correlates with higher wages and cross-border trade; for instance, multinational firms recruit graduates fluent in English for regional management roles, widening opportunity gaps. Politics: English facilitates diplomacy and multilateral negotiation, as seen in UN working groups where English drafting influences agenda framing and access to policy debates. These effects concentrate influence among those with language access while marginalizing others, reducing diversity of perspectives. Recommendations: (1) Promote multilingual publishing policies in scientific journals and conferences, including translated abstracts and bilingual review options to broaden participation. (2) Fund targeted language-support programs—scholarships, professional translation services, and capacity-building workshops—to help researchers, entrepreneurs, and civil society actors from underrepresented language communities engage on equal terms. Conclusion: Recognizing English’s utility, policymakers and institutions should combine pragmatic use of a global language with concrete measures to protect linguistic equity and pluralism.
