Globalization, Diversity, And Linguistic Hybridization

Globalization is a dynamic and encompassing phenomenon that reflects intense interdependence among nations, affecting economic, technological, political, social, and cultural aspects (Roudometof, 2015). It signifies not only the integration of local economies into a global market but also the significant impact on legal systems, necessitating standardized procedures to enhance legal certainty and competitive conditions worldwide (Katsui & Chalklen, 2023). Culturally, globalization fosters an interplay between local and global cultures, a process viewed variably as Western assimilation or multicultural integration (Ashcroft et al., 2006).
