Abstract:<br><br>
This volume explores the lexical influence of English on European
languages, a topical theme with linguistic and cultural implications. It
provides an extensive introductory background to a cross-national view
of English-induced lexical borrowing, posing crucial analytical
questions such as what counts as an Anglicism. It also offers a typology
of borrowings with examples from the languages represented: Armenian,
Danish, French, German, Italian, Norwegian, Polish, Serbian, Spanish,
and Swedish. The articles in this volume address general and
language-specific issues related to the analysis and collection of
Anglicisms, extending the scope to the largely unexplored area of
phraseology and bringing new insights into corpus-based and
corpus-driven methodologies. <br><br>This volume fits into a
well-established and constantly developing research field and will
appeal to scholars interested in the spread of English as an
international language, contact and contrastive linguistics, lexicology
and lexicography, and computer corpus lexicography. <br><br>
