Abstract:

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.

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.
