A CORPUS-BASED APPROACH TO ANGLICISMS IN THE ROMANIAN ECONOMIC PRESS
2011
The paper conducts a quantitative analysis into the phenomenon of English borrowing in Romanian, as reflected in one of the leading economic publications over a period of one year (Capital 2005). Starting from a definition of Anglicisms that is based mainly on formal criteria, borrowed words in the above newspaper are identified and classified according to frequency of occurrence, both in relative and in absolute terms. Thus, Anglicism types and tokens are quantified as regards the proportion they hold in the total number of words in the publication, and in terms of their repetition rate. Special attention is devoted to borrowed words in the lowest and highest frequency ranges, with some of…
Anglicisms and Italian Equivalents in the Era of Covid-19: A Corpus-Based Study of Lockdown
2020
The whole globe has been going through an unprecedented historical moment since World War II. COVID-19, the disease against which we have all been trying to defend ourselves for several months now, has spread worldwide with a significant impact in all spheres of life. With the pandemic outburst and English the language of globalization, several Anglicisms have entered the lexicon of other languages, especially Italian, traditionally open to foreign words. COVID-19-related Anglicisms are used in Italian to such an extent that we can reasonably refer to them as the ‘language of pandemic’. The English words and expressions employed in Italian to refer to the current disease are numerous. Some …
Makes sense, Maken järki : a case study of using English while playing
2015
Englanninkielen käyttöä suomenkielisen tekstin lomassa on tutkittu videopeleihin liittyen keskusteluanalyysiä käyttäen, muttei koskaan diskurssi- tai sisältöanalyysillä. Myöskään pelivideoissa esiintyvää kielen vaihtelua ei ole tutkittu. Tämä tutkimus pyrkii selvittämään tapaustutkimuksen kautta, miten suomea äidinkielenään käyttävä pelivideoiden tekijä käyttää videoissaan englantia. Tarkoituksena on myös yrittää kategorisoida erilaisia englannin kielen käyttötapoja. Tutkimuksen aineistoksi valittiin yksi noin 20 minuutin pelivideo suositulta Youtube-kanavan pitäjältä. Aineistoksi kerättiin videosta jokainen englantia tai lainasanoja sisältänyt fraasi ja ne litteroitiin. Tutkimuksessa analy…
Análise dos novos anglicismos léxicos na língua espanhola no contexto das obras e corpus acadêmico digital
2020
Resumen Con la llegada del siglo XXI, las obras académicas en español empezaron a mostrar un mayor interés por el anglicismo léxico, reflejando así el uso generalizado que sociedad y medios de comunicación hacían de él. Paralelamente, la accesibilidad que supone la digitalización de corpus académicos, como el CREA y el CORPES XXI de la Real Academia Española, permite investigar la progresión de estas voces en los textos que los componen. Durante los últimos años, estos anglicismos se han ajustado a las necesidades de la lengua española tanto en España como en América, bien incorporando términos, bien adaptándolos o bien rechazando aquellos que se consideraban ya inservibles. A partir de est…
Letter to the Editor: use of some inappropriate terms in Spanish in Oral Medicine and Pathology
2016
Dear Editor: According to the Dictionary of the Spanish Language of the Royal Spanish Academy (DLERAE) (1) anglicism refers to those words or terms of English language that are used in another. The Spanish language has acquired and uses numerous anglicisms, especially for words that have no option to be translated into Spanish, such as those absent in this language like internet, wifi, whisky, etc. In Medicine a lot of anglicisms are inevitably used today in the medical language, such as: stress, test, distress, gold standard, score, shunt, level, etc. Dentistry also commonly uses many anglicisms, such as forceps, bonding, inlays, composite, etc. that would be justified in most cases due to…

Les anglicismes en français et en tcheque contemporains : le cas des formes en-ing
2020
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 va…
Anglicisms in Tourism Language Corpora 2.0

Abstract The world of tourism has evolved in recent times because of the impact of the Internet. Tourism enterprises have expanded their commercial point of view and have found a faster way to reach clients through increased tourism advertising on the Web.

In this article, we will study the Anglicisms in Spanish tourism from these points of view: • why these words are used; • in what context they are used; • if we use original forei…
