Les anglicismes en français et en tcheque contemporains : le cas des formes en-ing

subject

description

The aim of this study is to analyze the neological borrowings from English that occur in contemporary French and Czech. Special emphasis is placed on neological borrowings with the -ing suffix. Owing to the status of Anglo-American as a lingua franca, Anglicisms affect all languages. This study investigates more specifically the processes involved in these -ing constructions. After a quantitative analysis of the respective diffusion and productivity in both languages, we focus on a few specific words (phishing, géocaching, sharing, washing), attested in both languages, and compare their integration from several perspectives (phonological, orthographical, morphological, semantic and local variants).
