The present article is devoted to a comprehensive analysis of the position of American-English language in the global international context, with a focus on the linguistic imperialism policy of the United States. The work examines historical and contemporary aspects of the spread of American-English as a global means of communication, as well as its influence on other languages and cultures. Special attention is given to the strategies employed by the U.S. to promote its linguistic and cultural influence, including educational policy, media, and international relations. The research draws on methods of sociolinguistics and a theoretical-methodological foundation, represented not only by the classical works of R. Phillipson and M.A. Marusenko, but also by numerous scientific developments carried out by Russian researchers within the framework of the Petersburg school of studying the linguistic dimension of world politics (V.S. Yagya, N.V. Kovalevskaya, Y.N. Shevchenko), which allows for a comparatively in-depth analysis of the processes related to the spread of American-English globally. The article also considers the consequences of this process for linguistic diversity and the cultural sovereignty of other countries. It explores issues of resistance and adaptation to linguistic imperialism and proposes approaches to preserving linguistic and cultural pluralism in the context of global interaction. The authors conclude that the consistent implementation of multiculturalism policies can not only distract energy from addressing the most pressing social problems related to racism and class inequality but also hinders ethnolinguistic minorities from realizing the real root causes of their plight. The work emphasizes the importance of reflecting on the policy of linguistic imperialism in the context of contemporary political-linguistic relations between nations in the struggle for power and peace.
