Abstract

The article discusses various ways in which Slovene and English function within the physical and virtual spaces of today's world. On the one hand English has undergone a process of differentiation into numerous mother tongue varieties, on the other we are witnessing tendencies toward its renewed homogenization in the role of a universal means of international communication. Special emphasis is placed on the influence of Global English on Slovene as well as on possible developmental trends.
