http://www.peterlang.com/?430673<br><br>Author: Zsuzsa Hoffmann<br><br>Abstract:<br><br>This book investigates lexical borrowing processes of our era in a<br>sociolinguistic context. Innovatively, it seeks to examine language contact<br>in a comprehensive way, taking into account socio- and psycholinguistic<br>aspects as well as implications for language politics.<br><br>As the sociolinguistic focus is primary, the volume also discusses how<br>technology influences languages and to what extent it creates new<br>conditions for language contact. As a result, it is proposed that the term<br>language contact needs to be reevaluated, since the context of<br>globalization has changed its very essence.<br><br>As the increase in the importance of English has been the most significant<br>global geolinguistic event in the past fifty years, the role of English as<br>an international lingua franca in modern borrowing is analyzed in detail.<br>Two case studies are
also given, one on the role of English in the EU and<br>another on the linguistic situation of multilingual Switzerland. The<br>characteristic features of lexical borrowing are illustrated in a complex<br>way on linguistic material of a total of over 5000 recent loans in English,<br>Spanish, German and Hungarian.<br><br><br>Contents: English as a global language/lingua franca - The presence of<br>English in the world - The influence of English in various domains of life<br>- International English as a new variety - The linguistic situation of the<br>European Union: international and intranational communication - Language<br>contact - Societal bi- and multilingualism vs. diglossia - Phonological,<br>grammatical, semantic, lexical transfer - The situation of English in<br>multilingual Switzerland - Communication between the linguistic regions of<br>Switzerland - The analysis of recent borrowings and transfer strategies in<br>English, Spanish, German and
Hungarian.<br><br>Zsuzsa Hoffmann is a linguist and language teacher with an MA (English and<br>German Linguistics and Literature, Hungarian Linguistics) and a PhD<br>(English Linguistics) from the University of Debrecen, Hungary. Her<br>research focuses on sociolinguistics and language contact, more<br>specifically, borrowing processes.<br><br>http://linguistlist.org/issues/22/22-4257.html<br><br>-- <br>=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+=+<br><br> Harold F.
