the case of German importations in English these tend to be terms taken
from German published works and tend to belong to specialist jargon.
Here are further examples (and I am not talking about the numerous
German importations denoting actual novel items here):<br><br>Narrenfreiheit<br>Sturm und Drang<br>Gestalt<br>Weltschmerz<br>Dasein<br>Leitmotif (now often "leading theme")<br>Realpolitik<br>Verfremdungseffekt<br>
