Les hispanismes en français et en tchèque contemporain : une étude comparative

subject

description

The Spanish language, which is spoken by 463 million native speakers around the world, represents a major source of loan-words. The vast majority of loan-words from Spanish come from previous centuries when Spanish shone as a language of international communication, which is not the case to¬day. However, Spanish left an important linguistic heritage and its traces can be seen in French as well as in Czech today. Our study carries out in a comparative manner and its objective is to analyze the Hispanisms that have entered the French and Czech languages. After having established a corpus of Hispanisms that are present in both languages, we have divided them into four categories: words related to Spanish culture, words related to art, words related to natural sciences and words related to gastronomy. Our objective is to study a concrete Hispanism in each category and its degree of morphological, orthographic or semantic adaptation in the studied language.
