Salam and Ahlan,
A few months ago, I've discussed with my friend on imperialism of language. Of course, we have opposite opinion on the topic.
He argued that the term of "imperialism" is not relevent any more to our age. This term back to the historical and political approach in 19 Century. He never believed that there is imperialism in language use or spread.
When I refered to a paper pertaining to the issue, he insisted to refuse. He claimed the paper could not change his stand. I already gave him concrete argument based on experts sights. But yet, he insisted to say that the language just a tool. Nothing to do with the spiritual aspects.
I argued that language is dichotomy. Once it plays a rule as a tool and in the same time it will influence the habits and emotions respectively.
