International English is the concept of the English language as a global means of communication in numerous dialects, and the movement towards an international standard for the language. It is sometimes referred to as Global English, World English or Standard English. Sometimes these terms refer simply to the array of varieties of English spoken throughout the world; sometimes they refer to a desired standardisation. Howerver, consensus on the terminology and path to standardisation has not been reached. 2, record 1, English, - world%20English

L'expression «anglais international» peut être comprise comme une abréviation de «anglais langue internationale» (ALI). Ce dernier terme est plus lourd, mais plus précis, car il insiste sur l'usage international de l'anglais au lieu de sous-entendre, à tort, qu'il existe une variété bien définie qui s'appellerait «anglais international». 2, record 1, French, - anglais%20international
