Howdy folks - a co-conspirator and I are seeking citations regarding the dominance of the English language on the internet. Specifically, we are looking for media citations (popular media more than acceptable - !!!WONDERFUL!!!, in fact!) of instances where individuals have said: that the amount of English used on the Internet doesn't (or will rapidly cease to) matter for the following reasons (or anything similar): (1) The Internet is global and distributed, so people will use their own languages on it, (2) The growth of non-English users exceeds in rate the growth of English-speaking users, (3) The technical affordances of the internet (Unicode, translation, etc.) have solved the language problems. These seem to be popular conceptions, for which there may be very slim published evidence. Please respond off-list, and I'll post a condensed summary. thanks, elijah wright school of library and information science indiana university bloomington
