How imperialism has been a great means of establishing monopolization of English language? As an imperialist language, English establishes a monologic colonial hegemony, authenticity and carries away co-existence, concurrence and simultaneity of other languages. The monopoly of English language has been viewed as a big threat to regional and local languages to sustain. Moreover, monopolization of one language refers to the monopoly of one culture as well. This study is qualitative in methods and employs Bakhtin's theory of dialogisim to investigate the possibility of multilingualism and multiculturalism in the wake of English as an imperialist and a global language. This particular study explores the possibilities of lingual diversity in the existing polarized societies in the world. Bakhtin's theory of dialogism is viewed as a ray of hope in the current settings for distinctiveness of each language and the cultural connotations each language takes in. The study proposes the possibility of language existence and development other than English despite their inner polarity and conflict and explores the possibility of linguistic and cultural plurality. The researcher has brought into light the important considerations after an extensive reading of the previous researches, within the fiamework of Bakhtin's theory of dialogism, to ascertain multilingualism and multiculturalism.enBakhtin's dialogismimplications for languages and culturesThesis
