Abstract
THE predominance of the English language in modern scientific and technical literature, of which the research workers and writers of reviews are well aware, was clearly demonstrated in an important report published by Unesco1 on different aspects of the language problem in science and technology. It would indeed be interesting to obtain similar information on published works in other fields of knowledge.
