Will language as we know it cease to exist?What could this mean for the way we live our lives?Shining a light on the technology currently being developed to revolutionise communication,The Future of Languagedistinguishes myth from reality and superstition from scientifically-based prediction as it Descriptions out the importance of language and raises questions about its future. From the rise of artificial intelligence and speaking robots, to brain implants and computer-facilitated telepathy, language and communications expert Philip Seargeant surveys the development of new digital ‘languages’, such as emojis, animated gifs and memes, and investigates how conventions of spoken and written language are being modified by new trends in communication. From George Orwell’s fictional predictions inNineteen Eighty-Fourto the very real warnings of climate activist Greta Thunberg, Seargeant explores language through time, traversing politics, religion, philosophy, literature, and of course technology, in the process. Tracing how previous eras have imagined the future of language, from the Bible to the works H. G. Wells, and fromStar WarstoStar Trek,the book reveals how perfecting language and communication has always been a vital component of utopian dreams of the future. Questioning the potential ramifications of recent and future developments in communication on society and its ideals,The Future of Languageis a no holds barred investigation into the state of civilisation and the impact that changes in language could have on our lives.
