Abstract
This study intended to investigate the perceptions and views of Pakistani people regarding the dominant status of English in comparison to Urdu through a self-developed questionnaire. 100 Pakistani residents belonging to different provinces participated in the study. Their responses were analyzed using descriptive frequency analysis through SPSS. The findings revealed that the members of Pakistani society still perceive English dominating in the most significant fields and areas such as education, official communication, and more. The study holds significance in that it utilized questionnaire to collect data, which was not used in previous studies. The study contributes to look further into the concept of linguistic imperialism in Pakistan. The replication of the study with large data set, including the representative population of all the provinces can be conducted to have more detailed view of the concept of English dominance and linguistic imperialism in the future.
