Abstract
The rise in the use of the English language as the language for international scientific communication in the 20th century is traced. Brief overviews are provided of world languages, artificial languages, language style in scientific communication, and English for Specific Purposes. Possible reasons for the increase in the use of English and a survey of recent research in language use in scientific communication are presented.
