ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
I would like to thank Univ.-Prof. Dr. Allan James for supervising this thesis. Furthermore,
I wish to express my being deeply grateful to him for introducing me to the topic of
(English) linguistics. His enthusiasm concerning this topic and the highly comprehensive
explanations in his lectures brought me to, finally, know what I am aiming at in
professional life. Attending his lectures, I have learned to love ‘linguistic signs’, analyse
them, interpret them, put them in relation.
I would also like to thank Chris Upward and Fred Swartz for making relevant newspaper
articles available on the Internet, all the people responding to my questionnaires and
Martine Vitteau and Julius Wallner for providing me the answers to the two missing
French questionnaires.
Further acknowledgements go to my close friends for supporting me, each of them in
her/his own special way. Especially, I would like to thank Ingrid Fernandez de Retana for
constructive criticism and useful discussions as to the final reading of this paper.
Finally, I would like to express my deep gratitude to my family. My parents, for providing
me the opportunity to make my studies. Dad, for keeping me in a good mood when I was
just to throw away the word lists, Mum for lending me her new notebook and for her ever
presence when computer problems occurred, Grandma for causing some diversion with her
parrot, Sebastian for his support not only concerning layout of a diploma thesis and
Johannes for his being my contact to important topics other than studies.

PREFACE
“The definition of an Anglicism, in all its parameters, is itself an issue that anticipates in
microcosm virtually every important element of the vast debate that will unfold in the

1. INTRODUCTION
In its easiness of grammatical construction, in its paucity of inflection, in its
almost total disregard of the distinctions of gender excepting those of nature,
in the simplicity and precision of its terminations and auxiliary verbs, not less
than the majesty, vigour and copiousness of its expression, our mother tongue
seems well adapted by organization to become the language of the world.
(a reviewer of the British periodical The Athenaeum, 1848)
1
Beyond doubt, this prophecy proves to be true, as English, in fact, has become the global
language in these days.
So, what makes a global language? Is it simple grammatical structure? Certainly not.
According to David Crystal, ‘the world authority on English language’, the fact that
English is the global language has little to do with structure or its number of speakers, but
“It is much more to do with who those speakers are. Latin became an international language
throughout the Roman Empire, but this was not because the Romans were more numerous than the
people subjugated. They were simply more powerful. And later, when Roman military power
declined, Latin remained for a millennium as the international language of education, thanks to a
different sort of power – the ecclesiastical power of the Roman Catholicism.
There is the closest link between language dominance and cultural power, and this relationship will
become increasingly clear as the history of English is told […]. Without a string power-base,
whether political, military or economic, no language can make progress as an international medium
of communication. Language has no independent existence, living in some sort of mystical space
apart from the people who speak it. Language exists only in the brains and mouths […] of its users.
When they succeed, their language succeeds. When they fail, their language fails.”2
In other words, the fact that English, nowadays, has become the global language is mainly
due to the dominance of the English speaking world throughout recent history. Starting to
spread in the aftermath of the Industrial Revolution from Great Britain to rest of the world,
the English language, or more accurately its influence, first appeared around 1750 in other
European countries. The interest in England, then, was not only due to economic reasons,
but also (mainly) to socio-cultural reasons, with other nations just favouring English style,
opinions, fashions and games.

Crystal, English as a global language, p. 6
8
Soon, the English language set out on a new triumphant progress, now, originating in the
United States – since, by the end of the 19th century, America had overtaken Britain in its
economic power.
With the invention of the steamship and the railway in the early 19th century and the spread
of communication systems (telegraph and telephone) in the latter half of the century,
people started to get in contact with each other – even over a long distance. The urge for a
common means of communication for the first time became apparent – and it was only
natural to give English this status.
Likewise, in the 20th century, the English language continued to hold a prominent position
in the field of communication, and, in course of time, due to the ever increasing power of
the US and new technologies, “the language has penetrated deeply into the international
domains of political life, business, safety […], entertainment, the media and education. The
convenience of having a lingua franca available to serve global human relations and needs
has come to be appreciated by millions. Several domains […] have come to be totally
dependent on it – the computer software industry being the prime example.”3
To have a lingua franca, thus, provides mankind with the possibility of interacting on the
international level – and this is why it is primarily English that is taught as a second
language in various nations4.
In recent time, however, it is not the English language in its complexity as a language
system getting the upper hand in global communication / education that gives rise to
ongoing discussions, it is primarily the English language as a source language to
widespread linguistic borrowings that causes linguistic uproar. Yet, linguistic borrowing
from foreign languages is but one phenomenon of how the lexicon of a language develops
(as will be dealt with later on).
3
David Crystal states in English as a global language that, world-wide, a total of 337 million represent
those who have learned English as a first language compared to 235 million who have learned English as a
second language.

1.1. The influence of the English language on other languages
Linguistic borrowing is, perhaps, the most obvious result of language contact. Due to
nowadays’ permanent exposure to English, it is only natural that languages will adopt
some expressions.
Daniel K. Sokol5 gives the reasons:
• “Lexical borrowing is today the result of the international socio-economic exchange. Science,
sport and technology, the media and so many other activities to which men are devoted to, are
the determining factors of lexical borrowing.”
• “Many linguists […] believe in the self-explanatory ‘law of least effort’ which, in this case,
would claim that […] speakers favor anglicisms because the words are concise, take little time
to pronounce and are consequently better adapted to today’s hectic lifestyle.”
• “Borrowings occur through an impossibility to find an equivalent in one’s language […]”.
• “We use them, too, even when the analogies exist, for team or group spirit and to indicate its
special and technical character, particularly to the group, which, in our minds, we would lose by
using a word from everyday language […]”
• “One uses them out of snobbery […] and one uses them out of laziness. English today is more
fashionable than ever […], especially among the young, and this has resulted in a great
proliferation of English words.”
• “One of the main ways English words are adopted by the public is by the press. […] the
language of journalists and advertising agents is indeed strongly marked by anglicisms […] they
simply introduce the English word as it is, either for a touch of ‘couleur local’ or simply
because they like neologisms, wish to be up-to-date and couldn’t care less about the norm.”
• “English’s prominence on the Internet (95% of the Internet pages are in English) will no doubt
cause a sharp increase in borrowed words.”
• “Television is undoubtedly the most effective language proliferator. […] The link between
English and trendiness/modernity can be traced, amongst other things, to the very high number
of English and American films and soaps on the screens. […] Television’s direct and indirect
effects can also be applied to radio and pop music.”
With regards to purist tendencies, it is interesting to note that, although English has
become the most generous donor of words to other languages, the English language once
5
Sokol, Lingua non grata, http://www.eltnewsletter.com/back/August2000/art242000.htm
10
was one of the most hospitable languages of the world as to its acceptance of foreign
loans.6
1.1.1. The English influence on French, German and Italian
For the purpose of this paper, I will try to analyse the influence of the English language on
modern French, German and Italian. I will, however refrain from drawing up statistical
studies on the occurrence of English words in native press, as this field has been
comprehensively covered7.
What I want to do is to go even further – I will not take into consideration ephemeral
words or ‘trendy’ ad-hoc formations in the media, but I will base my analysis on dictionary
entries, meaning, on words that have been judged worth being mentioned in a general
monolingual dictionary8: A foreign word having found its way into a (native) general
reference book, in my consideration, is the best proof of evidence for lexical influence, if
not to say lexical integration.
1.1.1.1. Langue versus parole
In this paper, I am, thus, not dealing with Saussure’s parole (the concrete utterances of a
speaker as to sociolinguistic backgrounds, pragmatics, stylistics, etc.), but I will
demonstrate how the English language influences modern French, German and Italian on
the langue level, namely concerning the language system itself – that is to say that this
paper, for the most part, will not include actual language usage, but will be based on
findings following lexicographical principles.

speaking world, to Le Nouveau Petit Robert for the French speaking world and Lo Zingarelli for the Italian
speaking world.

“Wörterbücher werden nicht gemacht, um jeweilige Ausschnitte der Sprachwirklichkeit zu
erfassen, sondern vielmehr dazu, dass sie dann, wenn sie benutzt werden, hilfreich dazu
beitragen können, den jeweiligen Sprachwirklichkeitszustand eines Benutzers-in-actu
anhand einer Suchanfrage in einen anderen zu überführen. [...] Das Gesamt der
lexikographischen Methoden ist geradezu daraufhin angelegt, die Sprachwirklichkeit nicht
ins Wörterbuch zu lassen, sondern ein sortiertes und portioniertes Wissen über Sprachen
und deren Gebrauch zu präsentieren, ein Datenangebot, das den erfolgreichen Benutzer in
die Lage versetzt, die Möglichkeit seines Verstehens und Sprechens zu verbessern und
damit die von ihm erlebte Sprachwirklichkeit punktuell zu verändern.“9
1.2. Procedure
First of all, I will deal with the corpus of this study and will give a brief introduction to the
principles of lexicography along with the presentation of my reference material (Chapter 2
– The Corpus).
Subsequently, I will try to untangle confusion as to loan terminology, comparing different
approaches to linguistic borrowing and by providing a new model of my own (Chapter 3 –
Terminology and status of linguistic borrowing).
Chapter 4 – English Internationalisms is dedicated to the primary object of this paper.
Within this section I will compare my corpus lists as to equivalent word forms in French,
German and Italian.
Judging from my findings, English Internationalisms have to be divided into genuine
English Internationalisms and assimilated forms of Internationalisms. I will, thus, deal with
these two forms separately.
The first subsection on English Internationalisms deals, first of all, with varying spelling
and pronunciation. Secondly, I will demonstrate how genuine English Internationalisms
take on grammatical gender in the three replica languages in question. Subsequently, I will
point out major differences at the semantic level and go into some detail as to the use of
English words on the stylistic level.
9
Wiegand, Fremdwörterbücher und Sprachwirklichkeit, p. 73
12
Assimilated Internationalisms, on the other hand, will be dealt with as to their linguistic
level of integration: sound-symbol realisation and morphology.
The last chapter of this thesis, Chapter 5 – Attitudes towards English influence and the use
of Anglicisms, quite in contrast to my remarks in 1.1.1.1. (langue versus parole), will be
primarily based on parole studies.
I sent questionnaires to speakers10 of French, German and Italian covering the following
questions:
1. When do non-native speakers of English in the examined language communities most
probably use English words
a. orally / in writing?
b. in working life / in everyday life ?
2. Why do people in the French, German and Italian speaking worlds use Anglicisms?
3. Are people aware of using so-called loan blends, hybrid forms with one English element and
one of the native language?
4. What are the speakers’ attitudes towards the use of Anglicisms with respect to their mother
tongue? Where do they think the influence comes from? Do they still notice English words
in actual language usage? Are there cases of a provocative use of Anglicisms to be observed?
5. Where do people most frequently notice the use of English words?
As a second step within this chapter I will demonstrate corrective efforts being made
against the English influence and discuss projects that are now in progress against
Anglicisms.
1.3. The fundamental definition
Essential to this thesis (and to any other thesis on Anglicisms) is, undoubtedly, the
definition of the expression ‘Anglicism’. For the purpose of this paper I will define
Anglicisms, according to Michel Piccone, as: “any borrowing from English that
constitutes a new word”11. Hence, in this paper, I will not differentiate between
Americanisms and Briticisms.
10
This summer (2001), I decided to subscribe to French, German and Italian news groups in the Internet in
order to get some e-mail addresses to which I sent my questionnaires translated into the respective languages.

2. THE CORPUS
As already mentioned in the introductory notes, my analysis of the English influence on
the French, German and Italian speaking worlds will be primarily based on the prevailing
general monolingual dictionaries of French, German and Italian: Le Nouveau Petit Robert,
Duden – Deutsches Universalwörterbuch and lo Zingarelli.
Within this section I will, therefore, start with a brief overview of the principles of
lexicography. As a second step, I will present each of the general dictionaries in detail.
Subsequently, I will give some information concerning special dictionaries of foreign
words. Concluding this chapter, I will demonstrate my procedure in finding the lists of
words that, then, act as the corpus for this thesis.
2.1. An Introduction to lexicography
“Lexicography is often defined as ‘compiling dictionaries’, which first and foremost lays stress on
the product, i.e. dictionaries. However, it is perfectly possible to work on lexicography without
actually writing dictionaries […]. It would therefore be more correct to define lexicography in the
following way: Lexicography is a branch of applied linguistics which consists in observing,
collecting, selecting, and describing units from the stock of words and word combinations in one or
more languages. In cases where two or more languages are involved simultaneously, the
description takes on the nature of a comparison between the vocabularies of the languages in
question.”12
It is the last two sentences of this quotation that exactly describe the primary object of this
paper. In the following chapters I will analyse and compare special ‘units of the stock of
words’ in the French, German and Italian language, namely the units being labelled as
Anglicisms (what exactly the term Anglicism stands for will be discussed in the
subsequent chapter on terminology). The basis for my study will be the linguistic units
provided by a French, a German and an Italian monolingual dictionary.
How are these linguistic units presented in a (monolingual) dictionary?
12
Svensén, Practical Lexicography, p. 1
14
• As to Svensén13, a dictionary, firstly, describes the formal characteristics of a word
(how the word is spelt, how it is pronounced, how it is inflected and how this word
forms derivatives or compounds).
• Secondly, dictionaries present the semantic characteristics of words (what a word
means).
• Thirdly, the combinational characteristics of a word are demonstrated (how the word
combines with other words, how this word is to be employed in a text).
• In addition to these linguistic statements, dictionaries also provide information on
pragmatics and stylistics.
These four levels of a word’s description found in a dictionary (format, meaning,
construction patterns and style) are called the ‘microstructure’ of a dictionary. The
microstructure, thus, represents the format each single entry in a dictionary reveals.
However, it does not only concern the four parts an entry consists of, but also involves
typographical (type-size and type-face) conventions throughout the whole dictionary, as
well the use of abbreviations, punctuation and symbols. I will deal with microstructure in
more detail when presenting the dictionaries I consulted for this paper.
With the microstructure to be referred to as the structure and format of each entry, the
macrostructure of a dictionary means “the relative arrangement of the dictionary entries”14.
Macrostructure, thus, comprises questions such as methods of arranging the words.
For the most part, dictionary entries are arranged by their spelling and in alphabetical
order. Svensén refers this type of dictionary as a dictionary in semasiological format – in
contrast to onomasiological formats (words with shared semantic features are grouped
together, e.g. Thesauri) and syntagmatic dictionaries, where the focus lies on the
combinational aspects of the words (e.g. valency dictionaries)15.
13
Svensén, Practical Lexicography, p. 3 – 4
15
cf. Svensén, Practical Lexicography, p. 17
14
15
The alphabetical arrangement of words can either be word-by-word or letter-by-letter, as
Svensén demonstrates with the following example16:
word-by-word
letter-by-letter
pass
pass away
pass for
pass off
pass out
pass up
passage
passenger
passion
passive
passport
password
pass
passage
pass away
passenger
pass for
passion
passive
pass off
pass out
passport
pass up
password
Other matters the macrostructure of a dictionary deals with are whether one entry
constitutes one paragraph or whether there is more than one entry per paragraph. The
below example17 shows (1) a one-entry-per-paragraph-arrangement and (2) an arrangement
that puts more than one entry in a paragraph:
(1)
Zwischengericht n entrée [course]
Zwischengeschoß n mezzanine [floor]
Zwischengröße f intermediate size
Zwischenhandel m intermediate trade
(2)
Zwischengericht n entrée [course] Zwischengeschoß n mezzanine [floor] Zwischengröße f intermediate size Zwischenhandel m intermediate trade
Before turning to the question of what the criteria are for a word to find its way into a
dictionary, let me just quote Svensén on the fact that lexicographers ‘have a really hard
job’:
16
17
taken from Svensén, Practical Lexicography, p. 224
16
“It is not only the information needs of different categories of user that are of importance. An
equally important factor is their ability to find and make use of the information given. Here the
lexicographer is forced into a difficult balancing act. On the one hand, the dictionary must contain
as much information as possible without becoming unnecessarily bulky; on the other hand, this
information must not be so compressed that the intended user will not be able to utilize it. […] He
has to find the right entry word […]. […] When the right entry word is found, the user also has to
find the right section within the entry, and within that section the material is grouped in a certain
order and presented according to certain conventions […]. In order to help users with this, more or
less detailed ‘instructions for use’ are given at the beginning of a dictionary, where these
conventions are more or less clearly explained. Hartmann […] observed the discouraging fact that
introductory explanations are very seldom consulted and that users rarely take the trouble to learn
the various codes, symbols, and abbreviations used in dictionaries […]”18
2.1.1. How a word finds its way into a dictionary
Before the actual process of collection and selection of material, a number of decisions as
regards the size and aim of the dictionary must be taken. Furthermore, a dictionary must be
authentic, meaning it must include only such linguistic signs that actually exist. In order to
prove this, the lexicographers have to find evidence for the words in several sources,
written and spoken. In addition, the editors of a dictionary have to prove the
representativeness of a word, that is to say the word must occur often enough, with a
certain frequency, in a language19.
It is for these reasons that you do not find ephemeral words or ad-hoc formations in a
dictionary. Both are phenomena that I would claim as typical for today’s hectic life: one
might feel ‘up-to-date’ when using fashionable words (that will ‘pass away’ only after a
few months to be replaced by another fashionable expression) or one creates a new word
only for a moment, a particular situation, out of laziness and not wanting to search for a
more appropriate word.
Generally speaking, big publishing houses, such as Dictionnaires Le Robert,
Dudenredaktion, Klett, Langenscheidt, Larousse, Centro Lessicografico Sansoni,
Zanichelli, etc., each have their own linguistic index cards providing information about the
sources where the words have been found, in which context, number of occurrences, etc.
And it was in the 1980s that “computer applications began to a alter the methods and
18
19
cf. Svensén, Practical Lexicography, p. 40 – 42
17
potential of lexicography”20. Gone are now the days of manual sorting and transcribing,
with vast lexical databases (continuously updated)21 that also provide special search modes
enabling users to ask special questions, such as ‘show all words with English etymology’.
2.2. Presentation of the dictionaries
Dictionaries come in all shapes (printed in book format, electronic on CD-ROM, etc.) and
sizes (from pocket dictionaries with about 10,000 entries to special dictionaries for
advanced linguistic studies that cover more than 60,000 entries), they can be monolingual
or bilingual, arranged in a semasiological, onomasiological or syntagmatic format (see
definitions above) and dictionaries can be general or restricted (specialised dictionaries of
dialects, slang, neologisms, professional jargon, foreign words, etc.)
Thus, the requirements the dictionaries I use for this thesis have to meet are:
• general

2.2.1. The Concise Oxford Dictionary
The COD is a semasiological general monolingual dictionary that organises its entries in
alphabetical order, by means of the letter-by-letter principle:
19
new
New Age
New Age music
new arrival
new birth
new born
new broom
Newcastle disease
newcomer
new deal
newel
Newfoundland
In addition, the COD mentions only one entry per paragraph.
new /nju:/ adj. & adv.
adj.
1 a of recent origin or arrival. b made, invented,
discovered, acquired, or experienced recently or
now for the first time (a new star; has many new
ideas).
2 in original condition; not worn or used.
3 a renewed or reformed (a new life; the new
order). b reinvigorated (felt like a new person).
4 different from a recent previous one (has a new
job).
5 in addition to others already existing (have you
been to the new supermarket?).
6 (often foll. by to) unfamiliar or strange (a new
sensation; the idea was new to me).
7 (often foll. by at) (of a person) inexperienced,
unaccustomed (to doing something) (am new at
this business).
8 (usu. prec. by the) often derog. a later, modern
(the new morality). b newfangled. c recently
affected by social change (the new rich).
9 (often prec. by the) advanced in method or
theory (the new formula).
10 (in place names) discovered or founded later
than and named after (New York; New Zealand).
adv. (usu. in comb.)
1 newly, recently (new-found; new-baked).
2 anew, afresh.
a new one (often foll. by on) colloq. an account
or idea not previously encountered (by a person).
newish adj.
newness n.
[Old English niwe, from Germanic]
There are, however, derivatives that are mentioned in the same paragraph (newish,
newness) and that would break the letter-by-letter order – as these two words do not have a
special headword entry.
20
The COD’s electronic version reveals the following microstructure:
When you first load the dictionary you are presented with the main window. This is
divided into two main areas. On the right is the entry window: this is where the dictionary's
entries are displayed. On the left is the word wheel: all the headwords in the dictionary are
listed here22 (double-click on the word you want to have displayed). Above the word wheel
is an input box. This is where you type the words you want to look up.23
Headwords, in COD, are typed in bold, each meaning of these is given a separate
subsection (each subsection headed by an Arabic number).
Attached to the headwords, the COD provides their pronunciation (according to the IPA
alphabet – with RP accent) and information on word class (in italics)24.
22
Note that the entry window on this picture does not display all COD’s entries, but only entries that show
the word performance.
23
based on the HELP options found in COD
24
Plural marking is only explicitly mentioned when irregular.
21
The paraphrasing and definition section in the entries shows the following typographical
principles:
• Information on combinational principles are presented in round brackets and in italics:
(attrib.) or with the word to be combined in italics: (usu.foll. by of). They precede the
definitions and paraphrases (in contrast to examples given – that follow the definitions).
• Information as to the level of style is typed in italics: colloq.
• Information on subject fields are shown in round bracket and normal type-face: (of a
duty etc.)
• Examples are usually put in round brackets and typed in italics: (made such a
performance about leaving).
Following the definitions section the COD usually gives evidence of the words’
etymology: new … [Old English niwe, from Germanic]
Interesting with the COD is that you can double-click every single word in the entry text to
get its definition as a headword (this function more or less replaces cross-reference in a
book-shaped dictionary).
2.2.2. Le Nouveau Petit Robert
The Nouveau Petit Robert fulfils all of my above requirements – even if I only have the
1997 version, it is the latest electronic one to have been published (see appendix A).
As on the level of macrostructure, the entries in LNPR are arranged in alphabetical order.
They are organised by the letter-by-letter principle as can be seen below:
névrotique
new-look
newsmagazine
newton
newtonien, ienne
nez
ni
22
LNPR principally mentions one entry per paragraph, only disrupting this method by crossreferences (which are highlighted, but do not attract more attention than do the
headwords):
after-shave [aftZYGDv] n. m. inv.
• 1959; mot angl. ♦ Anglic. Produit que les
hommes appliquent sur leur visage après
s'être rasés. ⇒ après-rasage. Flacon d'aftershave. Des after-shave. —Adj. inv. Lotion
after-shave.
In the following I will outline the microstructure of the LNPR’s electronic version.
The right hand window shows all the headwords listed in LNPR (alphabetical, letter-byletter), with the left hand window to display the entries. Above the list of headwords is an
input box to type in words for a simple search modus.
23
The headwords in LNPR are presented in bold, presented in a serif typeface. They are
followed by the pronunciation (IPA symbols)25 and the information on parts of speech in
sans-serif typeface.
Before displaying the (different) meaning(s) of a word, LNPR provides information on the
word’s etymology, preceded by the • symbol (in contrast to the COD it also states the date
the word has entered the French lexicon and – in brackets – the date the word first
appeared in the host language)
If an expression has a general style or subject field label, this is shown by ♦ going before
the definition section26. The semantic subsections are each preceded by an Arabic number
and ♦. Next are placed subject field, register and style labels (typed in sans-serif).
Following the definitions and paraphrases, (synonymic) cross references are indicated by
⇒, with the (underlined) word in bold. Subsequently, examples of how to use the word are
typed in italics (usually, these examples also include information on plural marking).
LNPR on CD-ROM also provides the possibility to just double-click a word in an entry
text to get its meaning.
2.2.3. Duden – Deutsches Universalwörterbuch
Actually, before choosing Duden – Deutsches Universalwörterbuch as my German
reference, I wanted to use Duden – Die neue deutsche Rechtschreibung. However, my
findings in consulting the dictionary were not all satisfactory (see appendix A).
The DDUWB acts as one of the prevailing general monolingual dictionaries (along with
the above stated Duden – Die neue deutsche Rechtschreibung). It is layouted in
semasiological format and alphabetises its entries letter-by-letter:
25
26
following the rules of British English pronunciation
It is interesting to note that LNPR gives 776 out of 60,000 entries the ‘Anglicism’ label.
24
Newcomer
New Delhi
New Hampshire
New Jersey
New Look

New Orleans

Newton
Again, DDUWB also states one entry per paragraph, just giving evidence of derivatives or
compound forms within the entry:
Af|ter|shave ['—:¶¥ŸÉ•©∂], das; -[s], -s, Af|terShave-Lo|tion, (auch:) Af|ter|shave|lo|tion
['—:¶¥ŸÉ•Í∂'¨ØäÉŸÆ], die; -, -s [engl. after shave =
nach der Rasur]: nach der Rasur zu
verwendendes Gesichtswasser.
The DDUWB’s electronic version looks like this:
25
Corresponding to COD and LNPR, the electronic version of the Duden –Deutsches
Universalwörterbuch also presents two windows – the window listing the entries on the left
side (here again the window does not show all entries, but the ones that are labelled as
having English etymologies) and the window displaying the actual entry on the right side.
Above these two windows you see the input field for words you want to have looked up.
On the level of microstructure, the DDUWB reveals the following organisation:
Headwords are typed in bold and attached is their spelling in IPA format27 (the vast
majority is British English based) and information on word class. However, the actual
naming of part of speech does not follow common rules of lexicography, i.e. just
classifying the words under n (noun), v (verb), adj (adjective) , adv (adverb), interj
(interjection), etc.
The DDUWB only explicitly classifies words that are not nouns as to their corresponding
part of speech with < > :
se|xy ['∫¤´≥©, auch: '≥¤´≥©] <Adj.> [engl. sexy,
zu: sex, Sex] (ugs.): sexuell attraktiv od. zu einer
entsprechenden Wirkung verhelfend: s. Wäsche;
sie, er ist, wirkt s.; ich finde sie, ihn s.
lif|ten <sw.ÿV28.; hat> [zu engl. to lift, 1Lift]: 1.
a) (Med.) durch 2Lift heben, straffen: die
Gesichtshaut, den Busen l.; b) (ugs.) jmdn. einem
2
Lift unterziehen: sich l. lassen. 2. a) (bes.
Technik) in die Höhe heben, wuchten: die
Behälter ans Tageslicht l.; b) (Jargon) anheben,
erhöhen: die Preise l.
hipp, hipp, hur|ra! <Interj.> [zu engl. hip,
gebraucht zur Einleitung von Hochrufen u.
Trinksprüchen, H. u., u. hurra]: Ruf, mit dem
man jmdn., etw. feiert, jmdn. hochleben lässt.
Nouns are treated as to their attributed grammatical gender and case, giving their
nominative singular definite article, followed by the inflexion of the genitive case and the
plural marking.
27
28
This exclusively applies for difficult-to-pronounce-words.
sw. V. meaning ’schwaches Verb’, inflecting along the stem + -ete / (haben) ge + stem + –et) pattern
26
Particular to the DDUWB are the hints provided for word division, represented by the
symbol | in the headword.
Information on etymology is shown in square brackets using the terminology of
Carstensen/Busse (to English … , from English …, etc.) – which I will deal with in more
detail in the next chapter concerning loan terminology.
Definitions in DDUWB are typed in italics, with examples of use attached in normal typeface.
Style level, subject field and register labels are put into round brackets:
Bro|ker ['¢≤Øä´Ÿ], der; -s, - [engl. broker,
eigtl.ÿ= Weinhändler < anglofranzösisch.
brocour, H.ÿu.] (Börsenw.): Effektenhändler.
ea|sy ['i:zi] <Adv.> [engl.] (ugs.) leicht, locker:
alles e., Leute! (es gibt keine Probleme, keinen
Grund zur Aufregung).
The electronic version of DDUWB also has the function to just double-click any word to
display its meaning (as have COD and LNPR)
2.2.4. lo Zingarelli
Lo Zingarelli, quite in contrast to the other dictionaries of my reference, although also
semasiologically formatted and alphabetically arranged, uses the word-by-word
principle29:
new
new age
new deal
new entry
New Jersey
new look
29
The word-by-word principle works on the electronic version. What the printed version looks like I cannot
tell, but I assume both versions to be equivalent.
27
new wave
news
newsletter
newsmagazine

As to the distribution of entries per paragraph, LOZ also makes use of the one-entry-perparagraph-method – with derivatives to interrupt this pattern:
pesca (1) o
(lett., dial.) persica
[lat. persica, nt. pl. di persicum ‘pesca’, propr. ‘(frutto)
della Persia’, da Persia ‘Persia’]
A s. f.

|| peschetta, dim. | peschina, dim. | pescuccia,
dim.
The COD’s electronic version’s microstructure shows headwords in sans-serif typeface –
which is unusual compared to the other dictionaries I refer to.
Attached to the headword is, along lexicographical principles, the pronunciation. As to
words borrowed from another language, lo Zingarelli not only presents the (assimilated)
Italian pronunciation of a loan/foreign word, but also states the original pronunciation. In
the case of English being the host language of linguistic borrowing it is only the Zingarelli
which exclusively shows American English (AE) pronunciation:

BE (in COD) /»pŸälÃpŸ»zÍÉ(Ÿ)n/
BE (in COD) /»skanŸ/
The microstructure of the electronic version of LOZ reveals the following:
Contrary to my other reference dictionaries, the LOZ does not state part of speech
information right after the headword / its pronunciation, but only classifies the headwords
as belonging to a word class after the etymological information. The part of speech
marking, in LOZ, also includes the marking of plural inflexion.
Subsequently, the meanings(s) of the word are given (organised by Arabic numbers).
Within the entries, subject field, style and register labelling is presented in italics put into
round brackets: (est.), (ling.)
Examples of the use of the headwords are given in italic typeface after the definition.
29
2.2.5. Dizionario delle parole straniere nella lingua italiana (PS)
This specialised dictionary of foreign words not only mentions English words in the Italian
lexicon but also words of Arabic, Chinese, French, German, Japanese, Hindi, Persian,
Polish, Portuguese, Russian and Spanish origin (just to mention a few examples).
PS is semasiologically formatted and arranged alphabetically, following the letter-by-letter
principle. To have access to foreign words organised as to their host language, the PS
provides source language indices in its back matter (technical term used in Svénsen30).
Notes from the editor say that 4,320 entry words are of English origin (compared to a full
coverage of 10,650 headwords), which would give a total of 41%.31
Concerning the microstructure of PS, headwords are typed in bold, followed by their IPA
spelling in its assimilated Italian form and their syllable division.
Etymology is presented in square brackets – providing the original English pronunciation,
the ways of derivation and the date of first occurrence in Italian.
Meaning(s) are subdivided by Arabic numbers, followed by examples in italics.

Compare this figure to words of French origin (1669 entry words = 16%) and words with German origin
(328 headwords = 3.1%).

2.2.6. Wörterbuch überflüssiger Anglizismen (WBÜA)
The Wörterbuch überflüssiger Anglizismen is freely available in the Internet32 and provides
an excellent reference corpus – as an alphabetical list of English-German equivalents.
However, it lacks any kind of lexicographical microstructure.
The WBÜA lists about 3,500 Anglicisms that are (as subjectively judged by the editors)
superfluous as to the German vocabulary.
Although lacking microstructure (with the exception of: notes from the editors in italics),
the WBÜA does have a macrostructure (semasiological and letter-by-letter arranged). It is,
however, although claimed to be a German monolingual reference, primarily layouted as a
bilingual dictionary, providing equivalents to the headwords:

Ulrich Busse, one of the authors of the German reference on Anglicisms33 (Carstensen,
Broder / Busse, Ulrich: Anglizismen-Wörterbuch – Der Einfluß des Englischen auf den
deutschen Wortschatz nach 1945. Berlin, New York: de Gruyter 1993), remarks on the
WBÜA34:

There is another dictionary on Anglicisms now in print that, according to Busse, seems to have high
potential: Görlach, Manfred: UDASEL – A Usage Dictionary of English in Selected European Languages.
Oxford.
34
I found this article only after consulting WBÜA for my thesis (chapter 4).
33
31
Auswahl an Anglizismen […] äußerst heterogen und zuweilen wahllos erscheint. [...] In ihrer
Frequenz, in ihrem diachronen wie synchronen Fremdheitsgrad und in ihrer Zugehörigkeit zur
Gemeinsprache bzw. Fachsprachen und in einigen Fällen der Zugehörigkeit des deutschen
Sprachsystems überhaupt, sind diese Anglizismen völlig unterschiedlich zu bewerten. Eine
Dokumentation im Sinne von Belegung findet nicht statt. Jegliche Art von lexikographischer
Mikrostruktur fehlt diesem Glossar völlig, und Kriterien, an denen die vermeintliche
Überflüssigkeit gemessen werden kann, fehlen ebenso; sie existieren wohl nur in den Köpfen der
Herausgeber.“35
2.2.7. Les mots anglais du franíais (LMADF)
LMADF is a special dictionary on foreign words in, primarily, onomasiological format: it
groups words together that belong to the same semantic field:
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
•
sports and leisure
science
social
legal, political, economic
technical
arts
everyday life
miscellaneous
The index in the back matter of the dictionary, however, displays all the headwords in
alphabetical (letter-by-letter) order.
As far as the microstructure of LMADF is concerned, it is layouted along the following
principles.
The headwords are typed in bold, with the IPA pronunciation attached, followed by an
‘assimilated’ syllable-spelling pronunciation in round brackets. Furthermore, information
on parts of speech is provided, as well as information on plural marking and etymology
(citing dates of first occurrence).
LMADF (as do French language dictionaries in general) not only gives native equivalents
or synonyms, it also provides ‘recommendations officiels’ proposed by Committees

French speaking world later on.

2.3. Assembling the corpus data
For the purpose of this paper, I intended to ‘create’ lists of words of each of the general
monolingual dictionaries containing words that are marked with English etymology.
2.3.1. Search criteria
In this context, LNPR and LOZ are the only electronic dictionaries to give access to this
search modus. DDUWB’s search engine can just be consulted for either headword entries
or search in complete text (meaning entry text). It is for this reason that I had to consult all
of the electronic dictionaries in question for the occurrence of ‘English’ in complete text.
36
LNPR states 196 of those ‘recommendations officiels’, e.g. arrière-plan for background, liste de
vérification for check-list, publipostage for mailing, individuel for single, navire-citerne for tanker, etc.
33
My search criteria – according to the abbreviations used in the dictionaries –, thus, were:
•
LNPR: “angl” OR “amér” OR “anglic” in complete text = 2771 (4.6% of the total)
•
DDUWB: “engl” OR “amerik” in complete text = 3167 (2.3%)
34
•
LOZ: “ingl” OR “amer” in complete text = 3126 (2.3%)
2.3.2. Problems with the Results
As my formulation of search criteria also lets headwords be listed that merely have the
term ‘English’ (in whatever form or language) be inherent in their entry text, the resulting
lists (see appendix B) are by no means representative as to ‘English words in French,
German and Italian); e.g. also listed are hybrid forms (words consisting of one English
element and one native element) as well as English proper names37.
The DDUWB takes this problem even further, with only marking so-called ‘base’ words,
with, occasionally, their derivatives and compounds left without a label:
37
At this point I made use of the Microsoft © Word 1997 GB spell check and found out that LNPR contains
1316 English spelled headwords = 2.2% (of the total number of entries), DDUWB contains 1809 English
headwords = 1.3% and LOZ contains 1803 English headwords = 1.3% (see appendix C).

Nonetheless, in the following, the lists mentioned in 2.3.1. (appendix B) will represent my
corpus material: I do not only want to prove evidence for spelling correspondences in the
English, French, German and Italian dictionaries to go in for ‘English Internationalims’
(where the lists of words resulting after the English spell check would be sufficient), but I
also want to point out similarities on the international level (imperialism – impérialisme –
Imperialismus – imperialismo) and work on the characteristics of linguistic borrowing in
general – as demonstrated in the subsequent chapter.
36
3. TERMINOLOGY AND STATUS OF LINGUISTIC BORROWING
Within this chapter, my primary object will be to untangle and clear up the terminological
confusion concerning linguistic borrowing. To start with, I will deal with several different
models of loan terminology (Busse, Dardano, Jabłoński, Viereck K. and Viereck W.) – in
order to arrive at a comprehensive model of my own. This model, then, will be the basis
for a more detailed look at linguistic borrowing from English concerning French, German
and Italian.
As already mentioned in my introductory chapter, linguistic borrowing from foreign
languages is but one phenomenon of how the lexicon of a language develops38. The
following display illustrates this:
How the lexicon of a language develops:
(to illustrate these word formation processes I will add some examples from English)
• Internal borrowing (from dialects, sociolects etc. of the same language)
• External borrowing (linguistic borrowing from foreign languages)
• Derivation (by means of adding affixes to create new words): e.g. child-ish, un-predictable,
etc.
• Compounding (joining of two separate words to produce a single form): e.g. sunburn,
desktop publishing
• Ad-hoc- and ex-nihilo-formation (totally new words are created = coinage): e.g. aspirin,
Kleenex (trade names as source), etc.
• Blending (two separate forms merge into each other to form a new word; usually the
beginning of one word is combined with the end of the other word): e.g. brunch (from
breakfast and lunch), smog (from smoke and fog), etc.
• Clipping (clipping only concerns the reduction of one word): e.g. fax (facsimile), ad
(advertisement), sitcom (from situation comedy), etc.
• Back-formation (involves the reduction of a word to form another part of speech): e.g.
option – to opt, editor – to edit, etc.
• Conversion (the function of a word is changed without reduction = functional shift): e.g.
butter – to butter (a noun becomes a verb), must – a must (a verb becomes a noun), empty –
to empty (an adjective becomes a verb), etc.
• Semantic shift (the verb undergoes a shift in meaning): e.g. wife (in former times this word
was referred to ‘women in general’ and has undergone a semantic shift to its nowadays
meaning of ‘a married woman’)
• Sigle words (they are formed from the initial letters of a set of words, their pronunciation
remains this set of letters): e.g. CD, VCR, etc.
• Acronyms (these are sigle words that are pronounced as single words): e.g. NASA, laser,
Aids, etc.

37
3.1. Linguistic borrowing from foreign languages – models of reference
In the following, I will critically deal with points of strength and weaknesses of various
models of loan terminology. For reasons of comparability I put these various approaches
into diagrams.
3.1.1. Maurizio Dardano
Summarising Dardano’s definitions concerning loan terminology I come to the following
diagram:
Fig.1: Maurizio Dardano’s model of loan terminology
38
First, Dardano39 distinguishes between unadapted and adapted Anglicisms. Unadapted
Anglicisms, here, refer to direct borrowings from English: dumping, marketing, trust,
boom, flirt, jet, etc. Adapted Anglicisms are defined as words having undergone
assimilation as to native patterns in phonetics (English words are pronounced according to
the spelling-pronunciation correspondence in Italian) and morphology, e.g. manageriale
(manager), flirtare (flirt), decentralizzare (to decentralise), accettabilità (acceptability),
etc.
Dardano moves on to calques, loan blends (compound forms of one English and one Italian
element) and semantic loanwords (meaning that existing words take on new meanings).
Calques, he states, involve the creation of new words and he differentiates between
homonymic calques (words that reproduce all elements of the English source word) and
synonymic calques (translated forms of the English model).
Here, the first terminological problem arises: Does the verb ottimizzare, for example, stand
as a graphological and morphological assimilated form to to optimize, is ottimizzare a
homonymic calque or is it a simple derivative of the Italian word ottimo?
Thus, we see that for my own summarising model at the end of this section I will have to
more clearly distinguish assimilated forms, derivatives and homonymic loan words.
3.1.2. Karin Viereck
The next terminological approach I will deal with is the model of Karin Viereck40. In her
article in “English in contact with other languages”41 she provides a clear and detailed
description of different forms of linguistic borrowing from other languages. She classifies
loan words according to a three-folded model: zero substitution, partial substitution and
full substitution. However, she only gives detailed information on zero (direct borrowing)
and partial substitution (loan blends), leaving totally aside full substitution – as the
following illustration reveals:

Fig.2: Karin Viereck’s model of loan terminology
Here I will not go into detail concerning a further description of the contents of Viereck’s
model, as the main points of her approach are distinctly demonstrated and exemplified in
the diagram above.
When ‘creating’ my own model I will primarily refer to Viereck’s model in classifying
loan blends (here: partial substitution) in genuine and pseudo categories. I will also make
use
of
Viereck’s
grouping
of
assimilated
forms
(here:
modification)
into
phonetic/phonemic or phonemic-graphemic (meaning the representation of the soundsymbol relation) and inflectional (concerning morphology).
40
3.1.3. Wolfgang Viereck
The next model I will take into consideration when making up my own model of reference
is Wolfgang Viereck’s approach towards loan terminology42.
Fig.3: Wolfgang Viereck’s model of loan terminology
42
Viereck W., The Influence of English on German, p. 115 – 119
41
In accordance with Karin Viereck, Wolfgang Viereck classifies English influence into zero
substitution, full substitution and partial substitution.
Wolfgang Viereck refers tozero substitutions as words that are taken over directly from
English, but that are only partially borrowed semantically (meaning that these words do not
take along all the meanings they have in the source language).
He also classifies English words that are used with a non-English meaning in the host
languages as belonging to direct borrowings (zero substitution), e.g. City in German has
the sense of English city-centre.
Other English words used with a non-English meaning are what Viereck calls semantic and
lexical pseudo-loans, e.g. dressman (for male model), handy (for mobile phone).
Along with morphological pseudo-loans, according to Wolfgang Viereck, are genuine loan
words that have undergone a process of morphological assimilation to the replica language,
e.g. infinitive inflexion of verbs in German, such as jobben, checken, etc.
As to my model of reference, I will not classify these morphologically adapted words as
pseudo-forms, but simply as assimilated forms of direct borrowings – with ‘pseudo’ only
being attributed to words that ‘look’ English but have a non-English meaning in the host
languages (these are named semantic and lexical pseudo loan words in Wolfgang
Vierecks’s model; see above).
Concerning Viereck’s sub-categories of full substitution, semantic loans, loan renditions,
loan translations and loan creations, I will classify all of them as synonymic calques (with
reference to Dardano in 3.1.1.).
Partial substitution, in the above model, is not further divided into genuine and pseudo loan
blends, as in Karin Viereck’s model.
42
3.1.4. Mirosłav Jabłoński
As to clarity and precision, this approach (illustrated in the diagram below) will constitute
the basis for my later model.
Fig.4: Mirosłav Jabłoński’s model of loan terminology
43
Jabłoński43 bases his three-fold classification of linguistic borrowing on the semiotic
triangle44, describing each word as having a form and a meaning. Thus, linguistic
borrowing in this context either involves a borrowing of both, form and meaning, a
borrowing of meaning only or a borrowing of form only:
• A borrowing of form and meaning can be sub-divided into foreign words in their
original spelling and foreign words in their assimilated form (following native patterns
in the replica languages).
• A borrowing of meaning only involves the reproduction of a foreign word via native
word formation processes.
• As to pseudo-loans, Jabłoński, refers to them as the borrowing of a foreign word only
on the formal level.
In spite of all its comprehensiveness, Jabłoński’s model leaves loan blends totally aside.
3.1.5. Ulrich Busse
Ulrich Busse is one of the authors of the most frequently consulted German reference
books concerning Anglicisms, the “Anglizismen-Wörterbuch” (I have referred to this
dictionary already in chapter 2: The corpus).
For reasons of completeness as to loan terminology I will now shortly illustrate Busse’s
main points. I will, however, not take his model into consideration when drawing up my
own model of terminology of linguistic borrowing – as I claim his classification to be
similar to Jabłoński’s model.
In the front matter of his dictionary45, Busse classifies Anglicisms as linguistic borrowings
43
Jabłoński, Rezeption englischer Internationalismen, p. 9 – 12
I will be dealing with the semiotic triangle in more detail when demonstrating my own model of reference.
45
Busse/Carstensen, Anglizismen-Wörterbuch, p. 18* - 19*
44
44
• from English x (borrowing of form and meaning)
• in accordance with English x (borrowing of meaning)
• to English x (borrowing of form)
3.1.6. A new approach towards loan terminology
In correspondence with Jabłoński’s model, the basis for classification of my model is the
so-called semiotic triangle46:
notion / meaning
word / lexeme
form
relatum / thing
Fig.5: The semiotic triangle
A word comes with a form and a meaning. Basically, both, form and meaning together,
refer to a special thing, the relatum (direct borrowing). However, it may well be the case
that only the form of a word refers to a thing (pseudo-borrowing) or only the meaning is
borrowed (semantic borrowing).
As to loan blends I have classified them as being somewhere in between borrowing of
form and borrowing of meaning – but, then, I have explicitly attributed them a borrowing
of meaning only, since loan blends involve native elements and are, thus, no longer
regarded as formally belonging to the source language, in our case English.
Another basic consideration was to group semantic borrowings along the synonymichomonymic principle stated by Dardano (see 3.1.1.).

3.2.1. Linguistic borrowing from English in French, German and Italian
In the following, I will provide definitions and examples for the categories of the above
diagram. The examples of linguistic borrowing in French, German and Italian are taken
from my corpus list – with occasional reference to the special dictionaries of foreign
words.
The four main categories are:
I. direct / lexical borrowing
II. lexical pseudo-borrowing
III. partially substitutional borrowing (loan blends)
IV. fully substitutional borrowing (semantic borrowing)
I. direct / lexical borrowing
Direct lexical borrowings are words that are taken over directly (with form and meaning)
from English into the lexicons of the replica languages. A distinction can be made
between:
1. genuine loans
2. partially assimilated forms
1. genuine loans
I refer to words as genuine loans if they represent an exact reproduction of the English
spelling (except for capitalisation in German and varying hyphen- and compound spelling).
In the next chapter, it will be these genuine loans that I will call ‘English Internationalisms’
– provided that they occur in all three replica languages.

boom
marketing
sandwich
French

German

Italian

2. partially assimilated forms
Partially assimilated forms are slightly altered borrowings from English. They are
assimilated:
a. along grapheme-phoneme representation and relation
b. on the morphological level
c. as to semantics and stylistics
a. grapheme-phoneme representation and relation
Grapheme-phoneme representation and relation involves native patterns of the soundsymbol realisation, meaning that the French language, for example, realises the ‘u’
grapheme in a word as [y], whereas a speaker of German or Italian would most probably
pronounce it as [u]. The Englishman, according to the different rules of phonotactics,
realises ‘u’ as [ju] or [ä], [å], etc.
Grapheme-phoneme representation can be further divided in
- graphology and orthography
- phonology and phonetics
(1) graphology and orthography
On the level of graphology and orthography, assimilation along the grapheme-phoneme
relation means that a replica language replaces an English grapheme by the native
equivalent when English pronunciation is to be obtained:
English
boomerang
tick
photo
French
tique
-
German
Bumerang
-
Italian
foto
48
(2) phonology and phonetics
As to phonetics and phonology, assimilation in the replica languages also takes place
according to native rules of sound-symbol realisation. For detailed information on how
these patterns work, see the section on assimilated forms in the next chapter.
b. morphological level
Morphologically assimilated forms have undergone a morphological adaptation to the
replica language. Morphological adaptation covers
- inflectional morphology
- derivational morphology
(1) inflectional
Inflectional morphology primarily involves affixes (for the most part: suffixes) to indicate
grammatical functions of a word (part of speech, gender and plural marking, tense
marking, etc.):
English
to format
He formatted the floppy
disk.
French
formater
Il a formaté la disquette.
German
formatieren
Er hat die Diskette
formatiert.
Italian
formattare
Ha formattato il
dischetto.
(2) lexical / derivational
Derivational morphology is used to create new words in a language. As far as linguistic
borrowing is concerned, the replica languages take up (or assimilate) derivational affixes
from English:
English
mini-ity
French
minijupe
-ité
German
Minirock
-ität
Italian
minigonna
-ità
49
c. semantics and stylistics
Assimilation on the semantic and stylistic level is dealt with in full detail in the next
chapter.
II. lexical pseudo-borrowing
Lexical pseudo-loans are words that are made out of English word-building material, but
have a non-English meaning, with some of them that do not even exist in this form in the
English language.
English
handy (useful)
dance hall
champion
male model
jogging
French
dancing
recordman
footing
German
Handy (mobile phone)
Dressman
-
Italian
dancing
recordman
footing
III. partially substitutional borrowing (loan blends)
Loan blends are compound words consisting of one English element and one element of
the host language. As to their correspondence to an English equivalent, they are classified
as follows:
a. genuine
b. pseudo
a. genuine
Genuine loan blends, strictly speaking, are originally English compound words where one
element has been translated into the replica language:
English
charter flight
tramway
showbusiness
French
vol charter
-
German
Charterflug
Showgeschäft
Italian
volo charter
tramvia
-
50
b. pseudo
Pseudo loan blends are compound words of one English and one native component, but the
entire word has no English counterpart:
English
stress disease
leading industry
briefcase
French
attaché-case
German
Managerkrankheit
-
Italian
industria leader
-
IV. fully substitutional / semantic borrowing (calques)
Semantic borrowings involve a full substitution of an English word by native elements.
These substitutions can be:
1. synonymic calques
2. homonymic calques
1. synonymic calques
Synonymic semantic borrowing involves:
a. semantic loans
b. loan translations
c. loan renditions
d. loan creations & formal neologisms
a. semantic loans
If an existing word, under English influence, adopts a new meaning, it is called a semantic
loan.
51
English
to fire
French
but (formerly:
destination, aim, end)
-
comfort
-
goal
German
-
Italian
-
feuern (formerly: to make fire)
conforto (fomerly:
encouragement,
consolation)
b. loan translations
Loan translations are direct translations of an English word into a replica language.
English
soap opera
skyscraper
pocket radio
honeymoon
French
gratte-ciel
radio de poche
miel-lune
German
Seifenoper
Honigmond
Italian
grattacielo
luna di miele
c. loan renditions
Compounds of which one part has been directly translated while the other one is conveyed
freely into the host language are called loan renditions:
English
jukebox
fair play
knock-out
French
franc-jeu
-
German
Musikkiste
-
Italian
fuori combattimento
d. loan creations & formal neologisms
Loan creations involve English words (actually, only the meaning is transferred) that are
rendered completely freely in the host languages. Strictly speaking, loan creations are
linguistically independent from the donor language and, thus, represent formal neologisms.
These can be :
- monolexematic words
- paraphrases
52
(1) monolexematic words
Monolexematic neologisms consist of only one free lexeme (that is usually combined with
a bound morpheme).
English
pipeline
software
leggings
French
logiciel
-
German
Beinling
Italian
oleodotto
-
(2) paraphrases
Plurilexematic loan creations are, generally speaking, paraphrases of a foreign meaning.

2. homonymic calques / fully assimilated forms
According to my own model of reference, homonymic calques and fully assimilated forms
fall together in their definition: On the one hand, they are fully integrated according to the
principles of grapheme-phoneme representation and they are adapted as to the
morphological and semantic /stylistic level, on the other hand, they still reveal the original
elements of the English source word:
English
to vulcanise
elf
French
vulcaniser
elfe
German
vulkanisieren
Elfe
Italian
vulcanizzare
elfo
53
Concluding this chapter, I believe it correct to say that all of the categories and examples
mentioned above, strictly speaking, correspond to the definition of Anglicisms I gave in
the introductory chapter, as they all represent a linguistic sign that has come into being
through the influence of the English language. It is, however, the convention that fully
assimilated forms and synonymic calques do not have Anglicism status.
54
4. ENGLISH INTERNATIONALISMS
What is an English Internationalism? For the purpose of this paper, I will largely refer to
the definition of Jabłoński47, who defines English Internationalisms as words that have
been directly borrowed from English into several host languages of different language
families. He states that all direct borrowings from English can acquire the status of an
English Internationalism. Furthermore, he argues that among these either genuine loans
(leaving aside gender classification and flexion in the host languages) or assimilated forms
can be found.
In the following, I will deal with both types of English Internationalisms. I will, however,
treat them separately, claiming that only genuine loans are authentic English
Internationalisms.
Adapted forms, on the one hand, represent but one phenomenon of linguistic borrowing –
and, thus, lexical development – due to current (linguistic) globalisation. On the other
hand, these assimilated forms of international character are the results of older Greek and
Latin influences.
4. 1. Authentic English Internationalism
First of all, I consider reference of an English word in all three general monolingual
dictionaries other than English as being sufficient to indicate its internationality.
Furthermore, the authentic English Internationalism requires accurate reproduction as a
headword in the dictionaries, ignoring capitalisation in German and hyphen-spelling as
well as spelling of compounds in all languages.
These criteria may be regarded as too superficial – as they only work on the basis of the
comparison of headwords that show no more than the basic grammatical form of a word
(nouns in the nominative singular, adjectives in the positive singular, adverbs in the
positive, verbs in the present infinitive active), without any hints to its usage. It is for this
reason that I will have a closer look at the words according to linguistic fields concerning
47

55
structure and use of language, namely phonetics and phonology, graphology (orthography),
morphology, syntax, semantics and pragmatics in one of the following sections.
4.1.1. List of authentic English Internationalisms
The list below has been created by means of sorting out according to the following
obligatory criteria:
(1) reference in DDUWB, LNPR and LOZ
(2) correspondence of the headwords in their spelling (ignoring capitalisation, hyphens
and alternative compound spelling)
(3) reference in COD (words that fulfil (1) and (2) but are not headwords in COD are
put in brackets and dealt with in the subsequent section)

4.1.2. Pseudo-Anglicisms as English Internationalisms
The above list gives evidence of 452 identical English headwords in DDUWB, LNPR and
LOZ. However, 20 of these words show no headword entry in COD. My first thought was
that these words must be what are called pseudo-Anglicisms, words only ‘looking’ English
on the formal level but that do not have English meanings. I will, therefore, have a closer
look on these words:
aquaplaning
As the headword aquaplane can be used as a noun and a verb, the ‘ing’-form does exist.
However, the English ‘- ing’, mainly used as an inflectional suffix marking the present
participle of a verb, is principally used in the replica languages as a derivational suffix to
create nouns. But as this phenomenon can also be found in the processes of word formation
in the English language system (with the ‘–ing’ being used as a derivational suffix forming
gerunds and nouns from verbs) and as one of the two definitions provided of to aquaplane
in the COD corresponds to the definition given in DDUWB, LNPR and LOZ, aquaplaning
is secured its status as an English Internationalism.
auto-stop
The COD lists both, auto and stop as headwords, but there is no evidence of a compound
form of these, although a sample sentence under the headword stop makes a connection
between the words (the vehicle was brought to a stop). Nonetheless, the intended meaning
of ‘to hitch-hike’ found in DDUWB, LNPR and LOZ is not offered by the COD, which
would make auto-stop belong to the category of pseudo-Anglicisms, even on the
international level.
bébé
This headword represents a very peculiar case: As mentioned further above, my search
criteria in the electronic dictionaries (occurrence of ‘engl’, ‘angl’ or ‘ingl’) were to be
applied to the complete texts, the resulting list of words not only stating English
headwords, but also words that show evidence of the criteria in the full entry text. In the
case of bébé, it made its way into the Anglicism lists by means of various reasons. The
DDUWB states bébé as being borrowed from French, with the French word being an
58
assimilated form of the English word baby. The LOZ also mentions French as being the
donor language of the borrowing, and it also states that this word might have come to
France via the English baby. The LNPR, then, gives evidence of the 1793 adaptation of
English baby in its lexicon. It is for these reasons stated that, for the purpose of this
synchronic analysis, bébé is neither an English Internationalism nor a pseudo-Anglicism,
but a borrowing from French with international quality, a Francisism.
Devon
The COD mentions Devon only in paraphrasing the headword Devonian (‘of or relating to
/ a native of Devon, in SW England’). LNPR and LOZ define devon as spoon-baits or
spinners, which are devices used in fishing. Both of them refer to the name of Count
Devon. The DDUWB, on the other hand, refers Devon to a period of the Palaeozoic era –
as does the COD with a second definition of Devonian though. The word Devon, thus, is
not an English Internationalism.
doping, dumping & factoring
Dope, dump and factor are all listed as headwords in the COD. They can be used as nouns
or verbs and, therefore, the justification for their being English Internationalisms is obvious
(see aquaplaning). The same observation can be made with the following words: jogging,
rafting, trekking and merchandising.
free jazz
The DDUWB, as well as LNPR and LOZ state free jazz as a form of jazz music whose
characteristics are improvisation and disharmony. Although the COD contains both, free
and jazz as a headword, the notion free jazz has not (yet) found its way into the dictionary.
Nonetheless, I would, in this case, claim free jazz to be an English Internationalism.
happy end
The term happy end may well be the most stated example of a pseudo-Anglicism. As the
correct English word is happy ending, one might argue for a case of morphological
pseudo-loan.
59
impeachment
The COD states the verb to impeach as headword (with the corresponding meaning in
LNPR, DDUWB and LOZ) and indicates the noun impeachment as well as the adjective
impeachable in bold type-face after the definition section – which proves evidence of its
being international.
joint venture
The COD states joint and venture as headwords, but the term joint venture is not found.
Here again I think that the word has just not yet found its way into the dictionary, the term
being perfectly international (see: free jazz).
kart
LOZ and the DDUWB refer kart to the abbreviation of go-kart, with go-kart being cited as
a variation of go-cart in the COD. LNPR gives no cross-reference to go-kart. Strictly
speaking, kart would not meet the requirements for being regarded as an English
Internationalism, but I dare say that the abbreviations cart or kart might be used in
informal English as well.
karting
In contrast to the above statement that the host languages often derive nouns ending in
‘ing’ from English verbs, karting is a genuine pseudo-Anglicism. Go-kart as well as gocart are marked as nouns only, meaning that there is no ‘to (go-)kart’ in English.
looping
Here we come across another incidence of a morphological pseudo-Anglicism. The COD
cites loop as noun and verb, thus offering the replica languages the possibility for ingderivation. The French, German and Italian dictionaries define looping as a manoeuvre in
which a plane describes a vertical circle – which is the COD’s definition of the noun loop.
made in
Although this collocation has no headword entry in the COD, one would forgive me in
arguing that the notion made in is perfectly English and international.
60
video-
The prefix video- (along with mini-, midi-, cyber-, etc.) is given a special status in the
DDUWB, LNPR and LOZ, and it is cited as a headword with reference to its property of
being the first element in numerous compound words related to broadcasting, recording
and reproducing visual material. In this sense, video- acts as an Internationalism since the
COD, besides noun and verb, also classifies the headword video as adjective. Evidence for
the internationality of video(-) are numerous subsequent entries in all dictionaries.
Videoclip in DDUWB, vidéoclub, vidéodisque and vidéotex in LNPR, video art, videoclip,
videofrequenza, videogame, videomusic, videotape and Videotex in LOZ and video camera,
video cassette, videoconference, video diary, videodisc, etc. in COD. These examples,
however, also show that video(-) is only to be regarded an Internationalism on the formal
level of this investigation. Actual language usage in the replica languages, namely the
compounding with native elements, and its Latin origin (videre) might even lead to the
assumption that video(-) is by no means English, but a fixed element of the vocabularies of
numerous languages due to a long-ago linguistic influence.
zapping
The COD’s stating of the verb to zap with its definition as ‘to move rapidly between TV
channels’ and its correspondence to the definitions in DDUWB, LNPR and LOZ might
imply an international character. However, actual usage favours the term channel hopping
when referring to a noun.
Correspondence of a French, German, Italian and English headword in spelling, however,
does not guarantee its not being a pseudo-Anglicism. Take the word flipper, for example.
Its definition in DDUWB, LNPR and LOZ show that the correct English word must be
pinball (a game in which small metal balls are shot across a board and score points by
striking pins with lights etc.), rather than English flipper (a broadened limb of a turtle,
penguin, etc., used in swimming.).
Or let us turn to the much cited smoking (which the three dictionaries in question define as
a man’s suit usually worn on formal occasions) that would be dinner jacket in English.
However, the word smoking holds an exceptional position in the field of linguistic
borrowings, being adapted from other languages at a time when it was actually termed
smoking jacket in English, with first occurrences of British dinner jacket and American
61
tuxedo only in somewhat later periods.48 The term smoking, thus, might be regarded as a
clipped form (an informally shortened version) in French, German and Italian vocabulary
rather than being a pseudo-Anglicism in the classical sense, like dressman (male model)
and handy (mobile phone) in German, and footing (jogging) and recordman (champion) in
French and Italian.
4.1.3. General monolingual dictionaries versus special dictionaries of foreign words
Working the three lists of my corpus for correspondences, I wondered about the relatively
low number of coexisting occurrences of an English word in all three dictionaries. Also
counting the numerous parallel correspondences in two of the dictionaries as English
Internationalisms, the 452 words of the list above would roughly amount to one third of the
total number. But since my definition of internationality requires an occurrence in the
dictionaries of three other languages than English, I will refrain from dwelling on this
subject too long.
What I did do, however, was to consult the special language dictionaries mentioned in
chapter 2, for the words that were missing to my required ‘threesomes’: ‘Les mots anglais
du franíais’ (LMADF) for French counterparts to a German-Italian occurrence, ‘Le Parole
Straniere della lingua itlaliana’ (PS) for Italian correspondences to a French-German
correlation and ‘Wörterbuch überflüssiger Anglizismen’ (WBÜA) for German matches to
a French-Italian relation.
With the help of these special dictionaries I found another 313 parallels – which would
result in a total of 765 English Internationalism (see appendix D), 59% of these found in
the prevailing general monolingual dictionaries, 41 % in the special dictionaries of foreign
words (as can be seen in the diagram below).

Fig.7: English Internationalisms across the 6 dictionaries
Another interesting aspect to mention is that 53% of the 313 missing threesomes (here I
refer to the right side figure 7) were found in the French dictionary of foreign words,
compared to 21% in the Italian reference and 26% in the special dictionary of German (see
appendix E). These numbers not only show a certain affinity between the German and
Italian vocabularies in the way they deal with the flux of omnipresent English words, they
might also mirror the respective nation’s attitudes towards the spread of English into their
lexicons.
As stated further above, to find way into a general monolingual dictionary is by no means a
valid proof for the existence of a word. There might be far too few occurrences in
reference material, or the lexicographer might take it as an ephemeral word, etc. As a
matter of fact, LNPR, with France even restricting the use of some English words by law,
‘ignores’ more than twice as many Anglicisms as DDUWB and LOZ do. The below
ranking of negative attitudes towards the use of Anglicisms might, therefore, be explained
against the background of the nations’ efforts being made against English influence (see
figure 7): (1) the Loi Toubon in France (53%), (2) organisations and societies in Austria
and Germany (26%), (3) occasional campaigns in Italy (21%).
As was indicated in the introductory notes to this chapter I will now drop theoretical and
formal approaches towards English Internationalisms and move on to a more practical
analysis in relation to the way they function or behave in the French, German and Italian
language systems.
63
4.1.4. English Internationalisms, their linguistic properties and the role they play in
the replica languages
For a closer examination on how Internationalisms, ‘abstract’ headwords in the preceding
sections, fit the structure and use of language within the individual systems and how these
correlate, I will analyse 45 (10%) randomly picked words with reference to the 6-levelmodel in Crystal49. As this model is based on the requirements for spoken language only, I
have slightly modified it in terms of adding categories needed for written language (typed
in bold-face).

Fig.8: An overall model of language structure (after Crystal 1997)
Since this study is based on dictionaries, I have access to both, the written and the spoken
channel. Leaving aside the very theoretical aspect of such a study, as dictionaries on no
account represent actual language usage, they provide exactly the information I need for a
thorough examination on several levels of language (see also ‘Principles of dictionarymaking’). I will, thus, subdivide this section as follows:
1. Graphology and orthography
2. Phonetics and phonology
3. Morphology and syntax
4. Semantics and stylistics

4.1.4.1. Graphology and orthography
The chapter on English Internationalisms was introduced by my stating the requirements
English words in general monolingual dictionaries have to meet: accurate reproduction as a
headword, BUT ignoring capitalisation in German and hyphen-spelling as well as spelling
of compounds in all languages. I will, just for the purpose of this section, not only refer to
the 452 English Internationalisms but also consult the complete lists (appendix B).
Ignoring capitalisation in German is a rather obvious aspect not to take into consideration
when working with Germanic and Romance languages. Apart from capitalisation of proper
names, it is only the German language that capitalises nouns in general.50
Hyphen-spelling and compound spelling usually go hand in hand, representing just one
oddity in orthography concerning the language systems of the languages examined in this
50
“Die Großschreibung der Substantive nahm im 13. Jahrhundert ihren großen Ausgang von der
Großschreibung der Eigennamen (vor allem bei Personennamen und geographischen Namen.) Die
Verwendung von Großbuchstaben diente hier vor allem der Kennzeichnung von Wörtern, die inhaltlich als
besonders bedeutsam erschienen, beim Vorlesen hervorgehoben oder betont werden sollten. Die Ausweitung
der Großschreibung auf andere Substantivklassen fand überwiegend im 16. Jahrhundert statt. Zunächst wurde
die Großschreibung auf eigennamenähnliche Bezeichnungen übertragen, wie etwa auf Bezeichnungen von
Völkern und Sprachen, von Festen und Feiertagen, von Tieren, Pflanzen, Zeit- und Maßeinheiten. Die
zunehmende Ausweitung der Großschreibung auf immer weitere Bereiche führte dann im 17. Jahrhundert
dazu, dass die Funktion der Großschreibung umgedeutet wurde: Sie wurde nun seltener als ein Mittel zur
Hervorhebung gesehen, sondern diente vielmehr der grammatikalischen Markierung der Wortart Substantiv.“
(Duden Newsletter from Oct. 18th 2001)

paper. Nevertheless, general tendencies can be observed: the French and Italian language
tends to composition via prepositions (chambre à coucher, camera da letto), the German
language shows a great tendency to so-called ‘monster-compounds’, making one word out
of several elements (most famous perhaps: Fußballweltmeisterschaftsqualifikationsspiel),
and the English language most commonly favours separate pre- or post-modifying to
hyphen-spelling (air bag, video cassette recorder, a vase with handles, etc.)
As for the spelling of Anglicisms the confusion goes even further. However, working on
the lists, a certain regularity in the dealing with compounds borrowed from English may be
detected: DDUWB tends to take up the original form (be it separate, directly combined or
hyphen-spelling), LNPR shows a tendency to primarily apply hyphen-spelling and LOZ
usually takes up the English spelling, be it hyphen- or separate spelling (direct
compounding seldom occurs). Looking at the loan blends (compound words of one English
Element and one element of the native language), we get to know that they are treated as
being native to the language system in German, and, thus, form monstrous constructions
(Holdinggesellschaft, Medienbartering, Nonproliferation, Tuftingverfahren). As mentioned
in chapter 4, French and Italian lack this uncompromising composition of foreign and
native elements, either using the English notion as it is (Italian) or employing native
paraphrases (French).
4.1.4.2. Phonetics and phonology
This study is based on dictionaries and I have to rely on the lexicographers’ thorough
examining of the way words are pronounced in a language (for the pronunciation of each
of the 45 words given in the dictionaries see appendix F), but I assume that the
pronunciation of English words in actual language usage differs considerably from the
pronunciation given in a dictionary:
Jabłoński51 found out that dictionaries tend to maintain English pronunciation. Actual
usage, however, greatly varies and depends on various factors:
51
cf. Jabłoński, Rezeption englischer Internationalismen, p. 33 – 34
66
-
the speaker’s attitudes towards Anglicisms (snobbism, linguistic purism, etc.)
-
the level of education and social status of the speaker
-
the speaker’s knowledge of English
-
the age of the speaker (whether he belongs to the older or younger generation)
-
the speaker’s acquaintance with the expression (intelligibility, familiarity, etc.)
-
the context in which the word is used
Jabłoński states that difficulties in pronunciation occur when an English word is directly
borrowed into a replica language without any modification. Speakers with a low command
of English would, then, certainly tend to spelling pronunciation (realising the word
according to native grapheme-phoneme relations). Furthermore, he points out that bilingual
speakers or speakers with English as their first foreign language will tend to pronounce it
in the English way and speakers wanting to express their high education and knowledge
will tend to an exaggerated pronunciation in some English native accent. He argues that, all
the same, as long as the English words are not assimilated to the native patterns of the host
languages in graphology, there will be variations in spelling.
For the purpose of my examination, however, I have strictly kept to the pronunciation
provided in the dictionaries, trying to detect a certain pattern.
In the early stages of my investigation on pronunciation the COD did not seem to be
suitable as reference for English pronunciation patterns, as it provides RP pronunciation
and the majority of international English words nowadays have their origin in the US, but
on a closer view the following becomes clear: It does not really matter for my study
whether the word is pronounced in the British or American way, what counts is whether
there
is
zero
transmorphemisation,
compromise
transmorphemisation
or
free
transmorphemisation.52 Zero transmorphemisation takes place when the English word is
pronounced in the English way, compromise transmorphemisation may also be called
assimilated pronunciation (partial imitation of the English pronunciation) and free
transmorphemisation is spelling pronunciation according to native grapheme-phoneme
(symbol-sound) patterns.
52
cf. Filipovic, English as a word donor, http://www.intellectbooks.com/europa/number5/hart.html
67
The DDUWB and LOZ show a great tendency towards zero transmorphemisation. Among
the 45 sample words I only found two cases of free transmorphemisation in Italian for
recital, pronounced as /»r¤tÉital/ or /r¤tÉi»tal/ and yuppie, pronounced as /»juppi/. DDUWB
gives evidence of four cases of free transmorphemisation, with cardigan, globe-trotter,
warrant and yuppie, pronounced as /»kardigan/, /»glo:bŸtr‘t–/, /va»rant/ and /»jäpi/. The
LNPR, however, proves my hypothesis that English words in France tend to be
pronounced in the French way. As examples let me mention: blizzard /blizaÄ/, crosscountry /kÄ‘skuntÄi/, jukebox /íykb‘ks/, management /manaímS/ and science fiction
/sjSsfiksjT/ .
Compromise transmorphemisation is by far the most frequently applied means of
pronunciation in the examined replica languages. It is for this reason that I will now go into
more detail concerning variations in vowel, diphthong and consonant realisation.
4.1.4.2.1. Vowels and diphthongs
Starting with the realisation of English vowel phonemes and diphtongs in the replica
languages (that offer the most significant variations), my results are the following :

• The English [¤:] is most commonly realised as [¤] in French, German and Italian, with
variations in sweater, the [¤] pronounced as [e:] in German and [i] in French (this can
be regarded as a form of hyper-correction, strictly pronouncing ‘ea’ as [i:] wherever it
occurs), and in airbag, which the DDUWB transcribes as [¤:–].
• [Í] in LNPR and LOZ is primarily transcribed as [i], being articulated in a slightly more
close manner, whereas DDUWB sticks to the English mid-closed vowel. Some
variations can be seen in the pronunciation of management, pronounced with [a] in
French and Italian and gadget /»gadíÍt/, being transcribed as /gadí¤t/ in LNPR and
/»gadíet/ in LOZ.
• Principally, [u:] is maintained in all the examined host languages, with only the French
language offering an [y]-variation in jukebox and an [y] in tuner.
• In contrast to the (non-rhotic) British variation of English, French, German and Italian
are rhotic languages, meaning, they always pronounce the ‘r’ (in whatever variation).
As examples let me mention cardigan and charter, being transcribed with an [—:] in
British English, [ar] in German and Italian and [aÄ] in French. The same also holds true
for the [‘:] in performance, which is pronounced as [‘Ä] in French and [or] in Italian,
with only German maintaining the ‘very British’ pronunciation [‘:].
• The (British) English [a] in German is either pronounced as [ë] or [¤] and [¤] or [a] in
Italian: scanner /»sk¤n–/ (DDUWB) and /s»kanner/ in LOZ or flashback /»flëÉbëk/
(DDUWB) and /fl¤É»b¤k/ in LOZ. The LNPR principally maintains [a].
• The phoneme [å] to represent ‘ou’ or ‘u’ in the English Language, is only applied once
in the DDUWB and LOZ (underground in German and cross-country in Italian). Vice
versa, the similar – but more back and mid-open [a] is articulated in cross-country in
German and in underground in Italian. LNPR, however, transcribes cross-country as
/kÄ‘skuntÄi/, and underground as /óndóÄgÄaund/ or /Xd¤ÄgÄ(a)und/.
69
• The English [“], for the most part, is pronounced as [‘] in the host languages, e.g.
shocking /»É“kÍñ/ (COD), /»É‘kÍñ/ (DDUWB), /É‘kiñ/ (LNPR) and /»É‘kkin(g)/ (LOZ).
• The [ä], as in new look, is principally maintained: /»nju:»läk/ in DDUWB and /nju»läk/
in LOZ, but /njuluk/ in LNPR.
• [i:] is most likely to be shortened in the replica languages: e.g. LNPR and LOZ
transcribe weekend as /wik¤nd/.
• The ‘famous’ [Ÿ] sound seemed to need some extra investigation, as I found more than
ten variant pronunciations. However, there is only one regularity to be detected: [Ÿ] in
English nouns ending in -er (broker, globetrotter, scanner, sweater, tuner) tend to be
pronounced as the more open [–] in German, as [óÄ] or [¤Ä] in French and [er] in
Italian. Other alterations of [Ÿ] are: [ó] in French ketchup, [‘] in German container, and
[o] in Italian container.
• As for the English diphthongs, it was interesting to find out that [Ÿä] is chiefly
pronounced as [oä] in German, with two occurrences of [o:] in toast and globe-trotter.
LNPR usually transcribes [Ÿä] as [‘], as in broker /bÄ‘kóÄ/, overdrive /‘vóÄdÄajv/
and poster /p‘st¤Ä/, but it also gives evidence of [o] in toast and pole position.
Concerning the phonetic transcription in LOZ, the English diphthong [Ÿä] in the Italian
language tends to be pronounced either as [‘] or [o].
• The English [åÍ] becomes [ai] or[aÍ] in German and Italian and [aj] in French (drive,
Irish coffee, etc.) whereas [aä] is usually maintained in all three examined host
languages (e.g. underground).
4.1.4.2.2. Consonants
Here are the most obvious alterations concerning consonant articulation:
70
• German words usually tend to end in a voiceless plosive rather than the voiced English
version: air bag /»¤:–b¤k/, blizzard /»blÍz–t/.
• French and Italian do not pronounce the ‘h’ at the beginning of a word (hooligan and
happening) – even if it is a loan / foreign word (or can this fact be regarded as a prove
of the word’s being adapted to the French and Italian lexicon?).
• The English [w] is usually articulated as [v] in French and German (sweater, warrant).
• The Italian language is likely to avoid consonant clusters which are difficult to
pronounce, rendering jukebox as /díub»b‘ks/ (gemination), joint venture as
/dí‘i»v¤ntÉur/, stand-by as /st¤m»bai/ and happening as /»¤ppenin/. On the other hand,
the Italian language also tends to intensify the single occurrence of consonants: yuppie
/»juppi/, thriller /»triller/, scanner /s»kanner/, pole position /polpo»ziÉÉon/, happening
/»¤ppenin/.
• [ô] as in thriller is maintained only in the German language, with a French alteration to
[s] and the Italian version [t]: /»ôrÍlŸ/ (DDUWB), /sÄilóÄ/ (LNPR) and /»triller/ (LOZ).
4.1.4.3. Morphology and syntax
Headwords in dictionaries fulfil certain functions. In addition to their function of merely
proving evidence of the ‘existence’ of a word in language’s lexicon, they give hints to
spelling and – sometimes – recommended word division. Furthermore, they are always
marked as to their grammatical form (meaning, part of speech, irregularities, etc.) and,
thus, indicate how the words are treated (in sentences and utterances) when actually
producing speech according to syntactic patterns.
This section, thus, comprises the examination of the 45 English Internationalisms in
question regarding (1) parts of speech, (2) labelling of grammatical gender in the replica
languages and (3) plural marking , along with (4) other syntactical hints (the way words are
to be combined within an utterance to show relationships in meaning) provided by the
dictionaries.
To start with, I made up the following table illustrating the linguistic information attached
to the headwords in COD, DDUWB, LNPR and LOZ.

Table 1: Parts of speech labels for English Internationalisms
The above chart shows that in a list of 45 Internationalism, we not only find nouns directly
borrowed from English (as was my hypothesis, since verbs always take on native
inflectional morphemes and adjectives are also most likely to be altered by inflection), we
also find 2 adjectives, invariable (uninflected), of course: light and shocking. As for French
and Italian we also learn that there are some words belonging to both types of parts of
53
one of the plural variations is the English plural
72
speech, namely adjective and noun. These are folk, new-look and underground in French
and charter, folk, sandwich and underground in Italian. However, we do not find any
evidence of such words belonging to two word classes in the German list. Actually, I only
found one German Internationalism in the 453-words-list that fits into the group of nouns
and the group of adjectives: top.
Comparing section II to section I in the table, one will notice at once that there are several
English Internationalisms that are also used as a verb in the English language54, with some
of them also existing in the host languages in their verbal form. However, for the purpose
of the examination of Internationalisms, they cannot be taken into consideration since
verbs in the examined replica languages have to be morphologically assimilated and are,
thus, no longer exact reproductions of the English words. We see boomen, chartern and
toasten in DDUWB, tostare and zumare in LOZ and boumer, chartériser, driver,
sandwicher, warranter and zoomer in LNPR. As for these adapted forms I will go into
more detail in the following chapter.
4.1.4.3.2. Gender
The English language differs from the majority of other European languages by not having
a grammatical but a natural gender. Since grammatical gender attribution is obligatory in
the examined host languages, Anglicisms as well as English Internationalisms have to take
up one of the three (German) or two (French and Italian) grammatical genders when
integrated in the foreign language systems. According to Jabłoński55, nouns are classified
by reason of the following criteria:
1. natural gender
2. phonological and graphological structures
3. analogy with the nearest native equivalent (translation)
4. morphological factors such as suffix analogies
54
55
beagle, boom, broker, charter, drive, jigger, sandwich, toast, warrant, zoom
73
The above table 1 reveals that 23 nouns out of 43 German Anglicisms (nouns) are
masculine56, another 10 are neuter57 and 6 are either masculine or neuter58. For reasons of
comparability I will, only for the purpose of this analysis, treat German neuters as being
masculine – assuming that it is the masculine gender in French and Italian corresponding to
the German neuter. The total number of 39 ‘masculine’ English Internationalisms in
DDUWB would, therefore, amount to 91% compared to four feminine nouns59 (9%).
LNPR states 38 words to be of masculine gender60 (88%), 3 feminine nouns61 (7%) and 2
substantives (5%) that can either be feminine or masculine62. The results in LOZ were
similar: 37 masculine substantives63 (86%), 3 feminine nouns64 (7%) and 3 nouns (7%) that
can be either used as feminine or masculine65. Thus, the analysis demonstrates that English
Internationalisms, generally, show a great tendency to be attributed a masculine (neuter)
grammatical gender in the replica languages:

64
Italian feminine nouns : performance, pole position, science-fiction
65
Italian nouns either feminine or masculine: globe-trotter, hooligan, yuppie
74
Concerning the predominant group of masculine nouns in French and Italian, this
classification is mainly due to suffix analogies and the tendency of unmarked nouns to
adopt masculine gender. Unmarked nouns are nouns that do not provide morphological
clues as to which class of grammatical gender they would fit best: blizzard, cardigan,
cross-country, drive, flash-back, folk, gadget, etc. Suffix analogies, on the other hand,
imply a certain morphological indication: English nouns ending in –ment are analogous to
French substantives ending in –ment and Italian nouns ending in –mento. They are,
therefore, treated as masculine. Nouns ending in –er are dealt with as the masculine suffix
–eur in French and the Italian masculine –ore.
As for the nouns ending in –tion and –ance another analogy can be observed, with the
corresponding native suffixes –zione / –anza in Italian and –tion / –ance in French to mark
feminine substantives.
The German language is a bit more complicated regarding gender attribution as there are
three grammatical genders, namely feminine, masculine and neuter, which have been, as to
unmarked nouns, almost arbitrarily fixed: der Airbag, der Boom, das Gadget, der Folk.
The grammatical gender of these nouns sometimes cannot even be explained by means of
the nearest equivalent, as this would be das Luftkissen for der Airbag, die Hochkonjunktur
or die Nachfrage for der Boom, der Werbeartikel for das Gadget and die Volksmusik for
der Folk.
There are, on the other hand, quite a number of ‘native’ suffix analogies to be observed:
nouns in –tion are feminine (Poleposition, Sciencefiction), nouns in –ment, –ness and –ing
are neuter (Happening, Establishment, Business, Impeachment, Management) and
substantives ending in –er are masculine (Broker, Scanner, Jigger). However, there is one
exception: Poster is classified as being primarily treated as neuter (probably owing to ‘das
Bild’).
A comparison of the words in each gender category on the level of all three host languages
proves my assumption that German neuter nouns are treated as masculine in French and
Italian since I did not find a German neuter Anglicism in the feminine sections of my
Italian and French results.
75
4.1.4.3.3. Plural marking
Plural marking of English Internationalisms in French shows a certain regularity with 40
occurrences of the plural –s grapheme (and three cases of invariable plural: jukebox, new
look, take-off). It is, however, doubtful whether the [s] or [z] is actually realised in spoken
language.
As for the plural of Internationalisms in the Italian language my analysis demonstrates a
general tendency to invariability (38 cases of invariability and 5 occurrences of variation:
either English plural or invariable plural), a finding that is justified and taken further by
Maurizio Dardano66:
“A norm which has been met with a great deal of consensus in the recent past prescribes that
foreignisms of high frequency should not take on a plural marker (for example, il bar – i bar, il film
– i film, lo sport – gli sport); on the other hand, those of low frequency should retain the English
plural. Since this distinction appears for the most part to be based on subjective criteria, there is a
prevailing tendency in today’s press never to indicate the plural; […] Also in essay writing use
oscillates; the plural marker appears above all in specialist texts (quotations of technical terms).”
However, the only words to which LOZ attributes the possibility of retaining the English
plural are globe-trotter, Irish coffee, jukebox, pole position and sandwich, words that
undoubtedly are frequently used.
The German language, represented by DDUWB, for the most part preserves the English
plural ‘s’ (20 occurrences), furthermore, there are three nouns that are assigned the status
of an uncountable noun in singular (Folk, Underground and Business) and seven nouns
with invariable plural (Broker, Container, Globerotter, Scanner, Sweater, Thriller, Tuner).
With all of them ending in –‘er’, one might argue that this category of words has been
assimilated to German native patterns of plural construction due to their being listed in a
German monolingual dictionary, but what about Poster and Jigger? Each word is attached
variant plurals (either invariable or the English plural ‘s’). Other variant plural markings
are Sandwichs/Sandwiches/Sandwiche and Toasts/Toaste.
66
Dardano, English influence on Italian, p. 238 – 239
76
4.1.4.3.4. Other syntactic indications
Parts of speech markings and information on plural marking right at the beginning of the
entry (after the headword) indicate syntactic construction patterns, as they are clear clues to
how the English words are to be employed in the language systems of the host languages
(nouns are differently to be dealt with than verbs or adjectives).
There is no need to point out that DDUWB, in addition to parts of speech and plural
indications also states the marking of the genitive case, since the German language has
different inflexion in its four cases. I will, however, refrain from dwelling on the
grammatical cases as they are of little relevance to my comparison with the French and the
Italian language (both of them only attributing cases to pronouns)67.
As I have already covered plural inflexion of nouns, I will now turn to the special category
of nouns that are also used as adjectives in French and Italian:
With the French adjective-nouns only folk is inflected in both cases (un chanteur de folk,
des groupes folks), new-look is both, invariable as a noun and when acting as an adjective,
and underground is inflected when used as noun and invariable in adjectival use (les
undergrounds, des films underground). The Italian Internationalisms charter, folk and
underground are invariable, thus uninflected, as nouns and as adjectives (il volo charter,
una canzone folk, delle commedie underground), whereas sandwich is invariable in
adjectival use (le strutture sandwich) and can be inflected when used as a noun (due
sandwiches al prosciutto).
67
I came across an interesting commentary concerning misspelling of the possessive/genitive case in German
which is due to English influence: “The widespread misspelling of ‘s in the genitive singular nouns in
German, especially in proper names, such as Goethe’s Gedichte, Shakespeare’s Dramen, Frank’s Bücher,
Berlin’s Denkmäler, likewise goes back to the English model. In England, too, it came about erroneously.
This can be demonstrated by its historical origin: beside the original inflected genitive singular (Middle
English the king(e)s son, German des Königs Sohn) stood the possessive dative (Middle English the king
(h)is son, German dem König sein Sohn). As the latter popular construction had spread out in the early New
English period the grammarians of the 17th century, who endeavoured to regulate the English language but
were still unfamiliar with its history, mistook his with its weakly pronounced h- for the origin of the genitive
ending and recommended therefore to put an apostrophe before the genitive -s in order to show that one or
more letters had been left out. This equation of the two grammatical constructions did by no means apply to
feminine nouns, as for example the queen her son, which, however, did not prevent the early English
grammarians from transferring the masculine ‘s out of its pretended his to the genitive singular of all the
nouns. This linguistic misconception also led at the same time to the restricted use of the genitive ‘s to the
possessive case.” (Lehnert, English loans in GDR German, p. 141 – 142)
77
4.1.4.4. Semantics and stylistics
The primary object of this section is to point out correspondences, similarities and
divergence in the use of Anglicisms on the semantic (referring to the meanings provided by
the dictionaries) and on the stylistic level (referring to style levels and the speaker’s
attitudes68.)
4.1.4.4.1. English Internationalisms on the semantic level
“Lexikalische Einheiten werden nie von Sprache zu Sprache als vollständige ’dictionary entries’
entlehnt. Die Entstehung eines Wortes kann nur in konkreten Lebenssituationen geschehen, d.h. ’in
the form of a concrete path. If a word has been borrowed in more than one situation, it may have
more than one sense in the borrowing language, and consequently the dictionary entry of this word
in the borrowing language will have more than one path.’.“69
These ‘paths’ mentioned above, on the practical lexicographical level are visualised as
shown in the following entry taken from LNPR:
performance [pDYfCYmSs] n. f.
• 1839; mot angl., de l'a. fr. parformance (XVIe), de parformer « accomplir, exécuter »
1♦ Résultat chiffré obtenu dans une compétition (par un cheval, un athlète). Les performances d'un
champion. Performance homologuée. Une médiocre performance. —Voiture classée première à
l'indice de performance, selon sa cylindrée. — Les performances d'un cadre, d'un vendeur. Les
performances d'une usine, d'un produit.
◊ Psychol. Test de performance : test non verbal d'appréciation des facultés intellectuelles. — (1966)
◊ Ling. Réalisation d'un acte de parole par une personne (encodage ou décodage). Compétence et
performance.
2♦ Résultat optimal qu'une machine peut obtenir. Les performances d'un ordinateur, d'un avion, d'un
système.
◊ Fig. Exploit, succès. ⇒ prouesse. Le travail a été exécuté en moins de temps qu'il n'était prévu,
c'est une belle performance! « Le capitaine-adjoint ne fut pourtant pas ébloui par cette performance »
(Dorgelès).
Thus, the noun performance encloses two paths leading to two different meanings.
Meaning 1 is further divided into two paths (meanings special to particular subject fields:
psychology and linguistics) and meaning 2 encloses a sub-path to the metaphorical
meaning of the word.
68
69
cf. Svensén, Practical Lexicography, p. 183 – 186
Jabłoński, Rezeption englischer Internationalismen, p. 120
78
‘Using’ these lexicographical paths to examine semantic variations, I found out that 17 out
of 45 headwords show exactly corresponding paths in all three dictionaries: air bag,
blizzard, cardigan, container, cross-country, globe-trotter, hooligan, impeachment, Irish
coffee, jukebox, ketchup, pole position, science-fiction, shocking, thriller, weekend and
yuppie.
These words almost exclusively have only one meaning cited in the four examined
dictionaries – except for pole position which additionally takes on the metaphorical
meaning of ‘privileged status’ or ‘preferential treatment’ in French and Italian and
container whose second ‘path’ points to a semantic narrowing (specification) in German,
as it is referred to as ‘a box used for the shipment of books’.
A second group of words (8 cases) reveals corresponding meanings in all three replica
languages in question, but borrows only one meaning from the original English word:
• beagle (takes on the meaning of ‘a small hound of a breed with a short coat, used for
hunting’, but neglects ‘an informer or spy’)
• establishment (borrows only the meaning of The Establishment, leaving aside eight
other meanings, e.g. ‘a place of business’, ‘a household’, ‘a Church system organised by
law’)
• folk (is referred to as the colloquial abbreviation of English folk music, overlooking
other meanings, such as ’people in general’ and ‘one’s parents or relatives’)
• happening (does not borrow the much ‘broader’ meaning of ‘an event or occurrence’
from English, but is cited as ‘an improvised or spontaneous theatrical etc. performance’
only)
• management (excludes ‘the technique of treating a disease’ and ‘trickery or deceit’ in its
borrowing process from English, only referring to ‘the action or process of managing’
and ‘the professional administration of business concerns and the people engaged in
this’)
• new look (takes on the general meaning of ‘revised or new appearance or presentation’
and ignores the specialised English ‘a style of women’s clothing introduced after the
Second World War, featuring long full skirts and a generous use of material in contrast
to wartime austerity’)
79
• overdrive (does not apply to the second meaning in English: ‘a state of high or
excessive activity’ and only borrows ‘an additional speed-increasing gear’)
• recital (is referred to as ‘the performance of a programme of music by a solo
instrumentalist or singer’, leaving aside ‘a detailed account of’, ‘a narrative’ and ‘the
part of a legal document that states the fact’)
Jabłoński70 states that semantic integration of a foreign word into the lexicon of a host
language is not only restricted to a quantitative reduction (as with the eight preceding
words), but “it also affects the internal structure of such an entry [scil. in a dictionary]
modifying its paths … This leads to the phenomenon traditionally known under the
headings of the narrowing, extension and shift of meaning.”71
Thus, the third group comprises 20 cases of semantic variation concerning the borrowing
from English, with the French, German and Italian languages each acting differently when
taking over original English words: boom, broker, business, charter, drive, flashback,
gadget, jigger, light, performance, poster, sandwich, scanner, sweater, take-off, toast,
tuner, underground, warrant and zoom.
4.1.4.4.1.1. Semantic narrowing
A narrowing of meaning takes place when a word being borrowed from a foreign language
takes on a ‘specialised’ meaning in a replica language – only covering a small part of the
definition in its original meaning, e.g. in German the meaning of container is narrowed
down to ‘a boxed used for shipment of books’ and boom is reduced to ‘Hausse an der
Börse’.
4.1.4.4.1.2. Semantic extension
Extension or broadening in meaning occurs when a foreign word or loan word additionally
takes on another meaning, one the word does not have in the donor language, but that can
be traced back to one of the original meanings e.g.:
70
71
Jabłoński, Rezeption englischer Internationalismen, p. 121
80
• drive, in German, is broadened to ‘a special type of jazz music characterised by ever
accelerating rhythm’
• gadget, in German, is referred to as ‘a small gift to consumers for advertising reasons’
(what is, strictly speaking, a semantic shift), whereas the French and the Italian
language take on a meaning quasi antonymous to the original English one: ‘a useless
object or innovation’
• performance, in French and Italian, is added the meaning of ‘ numeral result in a
competition, e.g. number of points of a horse in a show jumping, or number of points
achieved by an athlete’
• sandwich, used as an apposition, is metaphorically used in French and Italian as ‘a kind
of structure’; in German it also denotes a special piece of equipment used in a political
campaign (it is in form of two advertising placards worn on chest and back)
• pole position, in French and Italian, takes on the metaphorical meaning of ‘privileged
status’ or ‘preferential treatment’
• take-off, in Italian, is also used for marking the beginning of an economical rise in
underdeveloped countries
4.1.4.4.1.3. Semantic shift
A shift in meaning takes place when the meaning / or one of the meanings of the borrowed
word has nothing in common with its original meaning in the source language, e.g.:
• Apart from the original meaning of the word, boom in French also denotes ‘a scandal’
or ‘a provoking advert’. Another meaning describes the ‘annual party of a French
school named H.E.C.’.
• The Italian meaning of jigger is altered to ‘a machine used for colouring textiles’. In
French, jigger is labelled ‘a device for electric transformation’.
• The English meaning of flashback (‘a scene in a film or novel set in time earlier than the
main action) undergoes a semantic shift in German to ‘a conditioned drugged state
without actually taking drugs’ (and is broadened to ‘a long ago episode of one’s life that
suddenly comes to one’s mind’ in Italian)
81
4.1.4.4.2. English Internationalisms on the stylistic level
Stylistics is defined as a branch of linguistics that studies variation in language use (style):
“Style is seen as the (conscious or unconscious) selection of a set of linguistic features from all the
possibilities of a language. The effects these features convey can be understood only by intuitively
sensing the choices that have been made (as we react to the linguistic impact of a religious
archaism, a poetic scheme, or a joke), and it is usually enough simply to respond to the effect in
this way. But there are often occasions when we have to develop a more analytical approach, as
when we are asked our opinion about a particular use of language. Here, when we need to explain
our responses to others, or even advise others how to respond […], our intuition needs to be
supplemented by a more objective account of style. It is this approach which is known as
stylistics.” 72
Since my reference material on English Internationalisms is based on dictionaries and by
no account applies to actual (individual) language usage, this section only covers a
theoretical approach to the use of English words. I will, however deal with the question of
stylistics in more detail – and on a more practical level – in chapter 6: Attitudes towards
the use of Anglicisms.
The Dudenredaktion claims foreign words to fulfil the following stylistic functions:73
• Refinement on the connotative and associative level
Sie ermöglichen inhaltliche Nuancierung durch Hervorrufung spezifischer Assoziationen.
Unerwünschte Assoziationen oder nicht zutreffende Vorstellungen können durch
Fremdwortgebrauch vermieden werden. Durch so genannte Bezeichnungsexotismen, Wörter, die
auf Sachen, Personen und Begriffe der fremdsprachigen Umwelt beschränkt bleiben, kann
wirkungsvoll ein kulturspezifisches Kolorit erzeugt werden. Daneben vermögen Fremdwörter ein
bestimmtes Lebensgefühl zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Wer so redet, möchte jugendlich, dynamisch,
zeitgemäß (trendy) und weltläufig wirken, und dazu dienen heute vor allem englische Fremdwörter
(Anglizismen).
• Refinement on the style level
Fremdwörter erlauben eine Nuancierung der Stilebenen Sie können verschiedene Stilhöhen
erzeugen: eine gehobene, eine neutrale, aber auch eine umgangssprachlich-jargonhafte.
72
73
Crystal, Cambridge Encyclopedia, p. 66
cf. Dudenredaktion: Zum Thema. Das Fremdwort – Freund oder Feind at http://www.duden.de
82
Nicht selten erscheint das Fremdwort eleganter, da pointierter, bisweilen auch klanglich besser zum
Wortsinn passend. Auch subjektive Haltungen und Einstellungen kann es zum Ausdruck bringen.
Fremdwörter ermöglichen Variation im Ausdruck. Um störende Wiederholungen zu vermeiden,
gibt es zum Fremdwort oft keine Alternative.
• Refinement on the sociolinguistic level:
Fremdwörter haben versachlichende Funktion und ermöglichen dadurch das taktvolle Sprechen
über heikle, unangenehme oder tabuisierte Themen. Fremdwörter ermöglichen die Anspielung auf
Bildungsinhalte. Sie stellen Wissensappelle dar und haben dadurch sozial integrierende bzw.
ausgrenzende Funktion.
• Refinement on the level of text production
Fremdwörter können eine Signalfunktion haben, d. h., sie können Aufmerksamkeit erregen. So
finden sich Fremdwörter (vor allem Anglizismen) häufig in der Kommunikationsbranche, im
Marketing und in der Werbung.
Fremdwörter ermöglichen Präzision und Kürze. Diese erfüllen stilistisch zwar keinen Selbstzweck,
können aber in bestimmten Redesituationen oder Textsorten (z. B. in der Fachsprache)
wünschenswert sein. Manche Fremdwörter, vor allem Fachwörter, lassen sich überhaupt nicht
durch ein einziges deutsches Wort ersetzen; oft müssten sie umständlich umschrieben werden.
4.1.4.5. Authentic English Internationalisms - assimilated forms causing ambiguity
Having thoroughly analysed 45 ‘genuine’ English Internationalisms by means of their
pronunciation, I may conclude that, strictly speaking, the majority of the examined words
would fall under the category of assimilated Anglicisms, as they are assimilated on the
phonological level. On the international level, speakers of English, French, German and
Italian will surely understand compromise transmorphemisation, but will a German
speaker understand the French /manaímS/ (management) or the Italian /»r¤tÉital/ (recital),
both occurrences of free transmorphemisation?
In addition, summarising my results of semantic variations in linguistic borrowing, I would
argue that there are quite a number of words that are not unmistakably to be understood by
speakers of English, French, German and Italian when interacting (see group three), with
the Englishman speaking of jigger as ‘an iron golf club with a narrow face’ for example
and the Italian referring to jigger as ‘a machine used for colouring textiles’.
83
It is for such reasons that I would have to revise my former requirements (accurate
reproduction in spelling as a headword, ignoring capitalisation in German and hyphenspelling as well as spelling of compounds in all languages) by adding two more
requirements an authentic Internationalism has to meet, namely zero transmorphemisation
or compromise transmorphemisation AND variation in meaning only in terms of
narrowing or quantitative reduction of the original meanings.
Thus, having analysed 45 English words that occur in a French, German and an Italian
monolingual dictionary, only 12 words meet the above requirements: air bag, cardigan,
container, globe-trotter, impeachment, Irish coffee, jukebox, ketchup, shocking, thriller and
weekend.
For the purpose of this paper, however, I will stick to my claim that the introductory
sorting (the list of 452 words) to represent English Internationalisms, as assimilated forms
show quite more considerable divergence in their characteristic features.
4.1.
Assimilated Internationalisms
Assimilation of foreign words primarily involves assimilation according to the rules of
grapheme-phoneme realisation and representation in the replica language and assimilation
on the morphological level (inflectional and derivational).
4.2.1. Assimilation according to the rules of grapheme-phoneme realisation and
representation
In my huge corpus of more than 9,000 words I found forty occurrences of ‘foursomes’ with
grapheme-phoneme assimilation, meaning that a host language modifies foreign words
(that-are-to-be-integrated) by means of an assimilated spelling corresponding to native
symbol-sound relations.
Here are some examples:
84
English boomerang
German Bumerang
English cashmere
French cachemire
German Kaschmir
English
French
German
Italian
kangaroo
kangourou
Känguru
canguro
English cheque
German Scheck
English
French
cheviot
cheviotte
English clubhouse
German Klubhaus
English foxtrot
German Foxtrott
English
French
tick
tique
Interesting to note is that within these 40 occurrences of assimilation through graphemephoneme representation, the Italian language only once modifies the spelling of an
‘English’ word (kangaroo – canguro), by replacing the ‘k’ by the more commonly used ‘c’
and assimilating ‘oo’ to ‘o’. The ‘u’ might be the result of the English [Ÿ] also being
assimilated to native sound patterns.
On the whole, it is primarily the German language that assimilates English words by means
of grapheme-phoneme relations, with 12 cases of replacing initial ‘c’ by ‘k’: Kaschmir,
Kalypso, Kamera, Kameramann, Känguru, Kanter, Katgut, Klubhaus, Kommando,
Kondom, Kricket, Krocket.
85
In syllable ending, however, it is mainly French that integrates an English word in spelling:
cachemire, kangourou, caravane, cheviotte, condome, skif, snif, starlette, tique, transfert,
zip.
4.2.2. Assimilation on the morphological level
I dare say that assimilation on the morphological level (be it inflectional or derivational) is
the best clue to claim a foreign word to be fully adapted by a host language.
4.2.2.1. Verbs
To start with, let us turn to the morphological assimilation of verbs. Generally speaking,
this assimilation follows certain rules in the replica languages examined. Principally,
English words are assimilated by adding the infinitive inflections
• -en (and -ieren for English verbs ending in -ise) in German: boomen, dopen, flirten,
klicken, mixen, sniffen, zoomen and kannibalisieren, hypnotisieren, makadamisieren,
optimieren, randomisieren, realisieren, standardisieren, visualisieren, vulkanisieren
• -er in French: boycotter, doper, cannibaliser, cliquer, coloniser, distancer, formater,
merceriser, mixer, quantifier, tatouer, zoomer
• -are in Italian: boicottare, cannibalizzare, cliccare, colonizzare, dopare, dribblare,
formattare, implementare, randomizzare, tatuare
There are, however, certain irregularities to be found in the German assimilation process:
• Certain English verbs not ending in -ise do take on the German -ieren: boykottieren,
formatieren, implementieren
As for verb inflection, assimilated English verbs act as if they were native –a point of
major discussion concerning the German language. One might argue that the mention of a
word in the prevailing German monolingual dictionary, the Duden, is proof enough to
apply native German inflection rules, and it is. Uncertainties only arise with the spelling of
86
the past participle of words that are not stated in the DDUWB as being ‘native’ or adapted,
e.g. forwarden – ich habe forgewardet / ich habe geforwardet, downloaden – ich habe
gedownloadet / ich habe downgeloadet. These words generally follow the rules of the
nearest native equivalent (weiterleiten – ich habe weitergeleitet, herunterladen – ich habe
heruntergeladen).
4.2.2.2. Nouns
As a general observation, most of the morphologically assimilated nouns cited as ‘English’
in DDUWB, LNPR and LOZ are of Greek and/or Latin origin. The most commonly found
derivational morphemes, thus, are:
• -cracy/-cratie/-kratie/-crazia: to form nouns of state and quality (from Latin ‘-cratia’
and Greek ‘-kratia’ = ‘strength, power’)
• -ism/-isme/-ismus-/ismo: to form nouns, especially denoting systems, principles and
ideologial movements (from Latin ‘-ismus’ and Greek ‘-ismos’ or ‘-isma’)
• -ist/-iste/-ist/-ista: to form personal nouns (from Latin ‘-ista’ and Greek ‘-istes’)
• -ity/-ité/-ität/-itá: to form nouns denoting quality or condition (from Latin ‘-itas’)
• -tion/-tion/-ion/-zione: to form nouns denoting action, condition, etc. [also: -ion, -ation,
-ition, -ution] (from Latin ‘-tio’)
As examples of morphological assimilation originating in Greek and Latin influences let
me mention:
English
French
German
Italian
plutocracy
plutocratie
Plutokratie
plutocrazia
English
French
German
Italian
behaviourism
behaviorisme
Behaviorismus
behaviorismo
87

avventista
English
French
German
Italian
electricity
électricité
Elektrizität
elettricità
English
French
German
Italian
acculturation
acculturation
Akkulturation
acculturazione
Apart from Greek and Latin influences, there are other cases of morphological assimilation
to be detected:
• The English suffix -er, in French, is likely to be replaced by -eur (assembleur,
handicappeur, joggeur) or -aire (dispensaire, partenaire)
• The Italian language tends to add a final vowel to English words (alligatore, dollaro,
elfo, flanella, monitore)
Concluding the section concerning assimilated forms of English Internationalisms, I would
like to point out once again that morphologically assimilated forms of borrowed words as
well as foreign words adapted by native grapheme-phoneme patterns are no longer felt as
being an ‘intruder’ to the lexicon of the host languages.
4.3. Prospects
Before turning to ‘Attitudes towards Anglicisms’ let me just set up the following
hypothesis for the future borrowing from English and/or the development of the French,
German and Italian lexicon to come. This thesis can only be backed by my lexicographical
and highly theoretical reference material and is, therefore, based on my being a native
speaker of German:
88
As we have boomen as verb for Boom or chartern according to Charter in German, tostare
as verb to toast and zumare corresponding to zoom in Italian and boumer, charteriser and
zoomer in French, I dare say that – in the long run – the vocabularies of the examined
replica languages will also take on (some of) the verbal forms (if they exist) of English
nouns being in the dictionaries.
My assumption, although rather subjective, is based on the following facts:
Apart from ‘older’ forms, such as filmen, grillen, handicappen, kidnappen, liften, puzzeln,
sponsorn, sprayen, stoppen, testen, we have the following verbs in German vocabulary,
even though they are not evidenced in DDUWB.
broken
brunchen
chippen
clustern
crashen
dancen
floppen
jazzen
jetten
broker
brunch
chip
cluster
crash
dance
flop
jazz
jet
jobben
rappen
scannen
job
rap
scanner
swingen
toppen
swing
top
twisten
twist
to act (or behave like a broker)
to have a brunch
to perform a golf shot called ‘chip’
to arbitrarily put together unsuitable things
to be involved in a car crash
(esp. in ‘abdancen’) to dance in an untamed manner
to result in a fiasco
to produce jazz music (to dance to jazz music)
to move quickly from one place to another (usually
over long distances)
to work
to produce rap music
to ‘read’ printed texts or pictures and transfer them to
the computer
to dance
to achieve a place or position higher than something
else
to dance
And I may argue that it won’t be long until we even get forms such as: brainstormen,
breaken, finishen, glamourisieren, jaccuzieren, lunchen, matchen, scouten, singeln, etc. in
German, or brainstormer, jacuzzer, singler in French and breakare, glamourizzare,
lunchare and scoutare in Italian.
89
5.
ATTITUDES TOWARDS ENGLISH INFLUENCE AND THE
USE OF ANGLICISMS
In the preceding chapters I have pointed out how English words are dealt with in the
French, German and Italian languages. My analysis here has been primarily based on
dictionary entries of the prevailing general monolingual dictionaries of the languages in
question, but, as already mentioned in chapter 2, dictionaries by no means represent actual
language usage. And it is for this reason – and the fact that ongoing discussions concerning
the flux of English words seem to be prominent in (not only) linguistic circles – that, in this
chapter I will deal with people’s attitudes towards Anglicisms in the French, German and
Italian speaking worlds.
Furthermore, in a separate section in this chapter I will refer to projects aimed against
English influence that are currently in progress.
5.1. Questionnaires
The method appropriate to my research project would seem to be the use of questionnaires.
As a technique I adopted the multiple-choice modus – since this procedure is the only way
to get comparable results. The questions were selected along the following criteria:
1. When do non-native speakers of English in the examined language communities
most probably use English words
a.
orally / in writing?
b.
in working life / in everyday life ?
In this context I assume that Anglicisms will be equally applied in working and everyday
life in the German and the Italian speaking world, with a majority of Anglicisms used in
everyday life in the French speaking community.
As for the distribution of Anglicisms in text and discourse, I expect English words to be
primarily used in spoken discourse in all three language communities in question.
90
2. Why do people in the French, German and Italian speaking worlds use Anglicisms?
This set of questions deals with stylistics in language usage. As answers to opt for I
proposed: (1) because English words are shorter and more precise than the corresponding
word in one’s mother tongue, (2) because there is no equivalent in one’s mother tongue,
(3) because the use of English words seems to indicate a certain kind of trendiness and
modernity, (4) because some English words are internationally fixed and/or used and (5) in
order to avoid repetition of words in speech or writing.
I assume that the answers (1) and (4) are most likely to be given by the majority of
speakers of French, German and Italian, with only a small percentage to selecting (2) and
(5) in French and a prevalence of German speaking people choosing (3).
3. Are people aware of using so-called loan blends, i.e. hybrid forms with one English
element and one of the native language?
Undoubtedly, I expect all speakers involved in my research to answer this question with a
clear ‘yes’.
4. What are the speakers attitudes towards the use of Anglicisms with respect to their
mother tongue? Where do they think the influence comes from? Do they still notice
English words in actual language usage? Are there cases of a provocative use of
Anglicisms to be observed?
I presume speakers of French to not opt for English words to enrich the French language
and I think that there will be only a small number of people choosing the option that
English words are no longer noticed in everyday language usage.
The majority of the speakers of German and Italian, however, will surely give as an answer
that they no longer notice English words and that they enrich their mother tongue.
Concerning the origin of the spread of English words in other languages’ vocabularies, I
expect all three language communities to opt for the dominance of the US in various
sectors such as economy, technology, etc.
91
As to the use of English words due to snobbery or showing-off I am not sure about the
answers to be selected in the various languages, but I think that primarily speakers of
German might opt for this answer.
5. Where do people most frequently notice the use of English words?
Within this section I proposed the following fields of application: sports, techniques and
technology, the Internet, youth language, advertising, science, business and economy and
politics.
Most probably, as for myself, the ranking in all language communities will be: Internet,
youth language, sports, business and economy, advertising, technology, science and
politics.
5.1.1. Procedure
As the object of my research project was to find out about the attitudes of speakers of
French, German and Italian towards the use of English words, my method implied
addressing these peoples of the different language communities. But how address them and
get a representative choice? I decided to subscribe to French, German and Italian news
groups and chat rooms in the Internet in order to get some email addresses to which I sent
my questionnaires translated into the respective languages (The English version of my
questionnaire is shown in the following on page 93, with the French, German and Italian
versions to look at in appendix G).
Without doubt, my sending e-mails to other users of the Internet slightly distorts my
results, since knowledge of English can be taken for granted with people familiar with the
Internet. However, this method seemed to me the only possibility to get appropriate
feedback.
Unfortunately, from more than 100 e-mails I sent to each, speakers of French, German and
Italian, only about 30 people were willing to support my statistical study by answering my
questionnaire. I got thirty-eight e-mails from speakers of German, twenty-nine from
speakers of Italian and twenty-eight from speakers of French.
92
For reasons of comparison I had to fix the number of questionnaires to deal with. I decided
to analyse thirty questionnaires, meaning, to just leave out eight questionnaires from
German speakers (the ones coming in last), to ask a friend to send e-mails to Italian friends
of his and to address the Société Française in Klagenfurt in order to get the missing
answers.
In my questionnaires I also asked people to fill in their age and gender – as I really
expected to make out some correlation (in age at least). It is, however, the case that no
central points can be drawn from the answered questionnaires. It is for this reason that I
will not consider age and gender when analysing the results of the questionnaires in the
subsequent chapter.
Still, as to the question of possible correlation concerning gender, it is noteworthy that it
was primarily male participants in German, namely 23 out of 30 (77%), and principally
female contributors in French (21 out of 30 = 70%) and Italian (23 out of 30 = 77%).
Another aspect I will not take into consideration in the analysis of the answered
questionnaires but that, certainly, is worth mentioning is the distribution of age. Looking at
age as regards the participants of my project on attitudes towards the English influence on
other languages, I found out that one can best make out these five age groups: From 15 to
24, from 25 to 34, from 35 to 44, from 45 to 54 and from 55 to 64. The only analogy to be
detected is that speakers of French, German and Italian between 25 and 34 alike were most
ready to answer my e-mail:

5.1.2. Results
To start with, in this section I will deal with the results of the respective languages
separately. This analysis is, then, followed by a summarising comparison of the languages
involved.
5.1.2.1. French
When setting up the questionnaire, my hypothesis as to the distribution of Anglicisms in
spoken discourse and written texts was that the majority of speakers of all languages would
opt for the use of English words in spoken language – as is justified by the below diagram.
none
7%
in writing
7%
both
37%
orally
49%
Question 1a
Fig.10: Anglicisms in (French) spoken discourse and written texts
I did not, however, assume that 37% of the speakers of French would select both areas of
application (in writing and orally) since this figure implies not only a rise in the percentage
of English words used in spoken language, but also an increase in occurrences of English
words in French texts.
***
As to my assumption that the use of Anglicisms in everyday language will dominate in the
French spoken word (as La Loi Toubon to some extent restricts the use of English words),
the following illustration reveals that there is quite a balance in France concerning
diffusion of Anglicisms: 34% selected ‘working life’ as the area of predominant use of
95
English words, 33% opted for ‘everyday life’ and 30% tend to use them equally often in
both areas.

Question 1b
Fig.11: Anglicisms in (French) everyday and professional use
To back this result I found some plausible explanations of why speakers of French often
(also) use English words in their job, although the French state constantly tries to
intervene:
• “The dominance of English as a language of scientific publication dictates the language of
scientists. A study carried out in 1984 among researchers in Strasbourg […] revealed that 85
percent of the information they treated was in English and 12.5% in French.”74
• “The use of English in industry is a direct result of the internationalization of the economy. […]
A company usually operates at four levels: applied research, manufacturing, management, and
marketing. Since the application of research depends on scientific researchm it involves more or
less the same linguistic practices as those of the laboratory; this expains the frequent use of
English. In manufacturing, the use of English may be due to the use of techniques engineered in
that language, or the use of tools and machines with accompanying notices in English ”75
• “At the managerial level, English is used to facilitate communication between staff and
members from different linguistic backgrounds, between different branches of the company
located in different countries, and in the use of electronic hardware (mainly computers) […].”76
• “Large international companies have institutionalized English as a company language which
means that its use is compulsory for any form of written and oral communication within the
company […].”77

The diagram below verifies my assumption that ‘shorter and more precise’ and
‘internationally used’ (as attributed characteristics of English words in a foreign lexicon)
will dominate in my findings on the use of Anglicisms in the French speaking world.

Question 2

Fig.12 The use of Anglicisms in French
As to ‘no equivalent’, I was of the opinion that this criterion of use will fall under one of
the minor represented categories, such as ‘in order to avoid repetition’ or ‘to imply a
certain kind of trendiness’ – since there are even committees in France that are constantly
in search of a French equivalent (be it an older word that gets a new meaning or a
neologism), a phenomenon I will deal with in the second part of this chapter.

Question 3
Fig.13: The use of hybrid forms in French
97
Hybrid forms, as I assumed, are used by far the majority of all speakers of French. It is the
67%, however, that strikes me (since I expected a 100% ‘yes’). One might argue, here, that
people are probably not even aware of using these forms, i.e. they no longer notice them (a
hypothesis that is justified by the following illustration).

Question 4
Fig.14: French attitudes towards Anglicisms
It is nteresting to note that in France, a nation full of linguistic purists, 22% claim English
words to enrich the French language and 37% state that they no longer notice the use of
Anglicisms (an indication of the full integration of some English words).
Only 8% of the speakers of French bother about some people’s use of English as a means
of snobbery.
***
The last section of my questionnaire concerns the distribution of English words in varying
sectors of both everyday and working life.
As was my assumption, it is primarily in the field of computers, namely the Internet that
detect English words can be detected(27%), followed by sports (21%) and technology
amounting to 19% (a branch that I would have ranked as the penultimate):

Like certain speakers of French, three speakers of German could not help but add extra
information:
•
•
•
« Prinzipiell bin ich gegen eine Ver-englischung unserer deutschen Sprache, aber beruflich bin
ich leider an sie gebunden, da ich als Netzwerktechniker blöd angesehen werden würde, würde
ich "Wegweiser" zu einem Router oder "Schalter" zu einem Switch sagen. Diese Wörter, oder
besser die dazugehörigen Dinge, sind nicht im deutschen Sprachraum entwickelt oder erfunden
worden. Daher meiner Meinung nach die englische Sprachbetitelung. » (3)
« Die englischen Fremdwörter bereichern die deutsche Sprache wo es angebracht ist, jedoch
nicht immer. » (14)
« Es gibt natürlich auch viele Anglizismen, die uns als solche gar nicht mehr auffallen. » (28)
103
’Surfing’ through the numerous German pages concerning the use of Anglicisms I found
the following – rather witty – letter posted in a forum against the English influence on
German vocabulary:
“Daß die sog. deutsche Sprache zu großen Teilen englische, lateinische und französische Einflüsse
aufnahm, ist ganz natürlich und steht im Zusammenhang mit dem natürlichen Fluß zwischen
Völkern und Sprachen. Viele fremde Wörter wie Spaghetti oder so werden auch nicht mehr als
fremd wahrgenommen. Der Unterschied zur heutigen Denglisch-Scheiße ist, daß früher (und auch
heute noch) Fremdwörter in die deutsche Sprache einfließen, um Lücken zu besetzen und um neue
Tätigkeiten oder Dinge zu beschreiben, und die ’Neuwörter’ nicht aus Gründen der ’Coolness’,
’Hipness’ oder Verbraucherverarschung vorsätzlich verbrochen werden. Es gibt doch keinen
Grund, warum das Ortsgespräch CityCall heißen muß - da will jemand etwas normales cool, geil
und hip machen. Es gibt aber einen guten Grund, warum Spaghetti Spaghetti heißen ... weil ’lange
dünne Nudeln ohne Loch in der Mitte’ ein zu sperriger Begriff ist. Es ist also ein Unterschied, ob
der neue Begriff nur aus Coolness einen deutschen allgemein verständlichen Begriff verdrängen
soll, oder ob er die Sprache um eine zusätzliche Nuance (aha. Französisch!) bereichert ! Warum
also kann der Key Account Manager nicht wie immer Hausmeister heißen ? Warum kann der
Backshop nicht Bäckerei heißen ? Warum geilen sich viele Leute am Begriff ’Händy’ auf, kommen
sich geil und international vor weil’s ja gar so ’internäschionäl’ klingt, aber keine Sau auf der
englischsprachigen Halbkugel kann sich darunter was vorstellen ? Wo soll das hinführen, wenn
Sprache nicht mehr zur Kommunikation dient, ’tschuldigung, wo die speech nicht mehr for
communication techniques used wird, sondern nur noch geil klingende, sinnentleerte Floskeln
enthält ? ’Meeten wir um oh-eighthundred am Citypoint zum Chillen ? Wir können ja auch
shoppen oder einfach nur etwas walken’ oder der neueste Vorstoß aus dem Sport: ’Rope-Skipping
hält fit’ ach wie geil ... ich bin ja so toll, so geil, so hip, so in, ich mache Rope-Skipping !, daß das
schon vor dreitausend Jahren die Griechen machten, und seither alle Kinder, bloß halt uncool,
ungeil, unhip als Seilhüpfen, das kümmert die nicht. Warum ist ’Rope-skipping hält fit’ besser als
’Seilspringen hält gesund’??????“79
5.1.2.3. Italian
Interesting to note when referring to the Italian results of the distribution of Anglicisms in
spoken and written language is that, quite in contrast to the French and German findings,
only 7% would use English words in both written texts and spoken discourse (23% in the
German and 37% in the French language). As was my assumption, the majority opts for
the use of Anglicisms in spoken Italian rather than written documents. See the diagram
below:

« Ultimamente ci sono sempre più pubblicità televisive in inglese – come se tutti lo capissero! »

« In Italia si parla solo da 'devolution' – che sarebbe il passaggio di potere dal Governo centrale
a quello regionale – e non di 'devoluzione', che ha lo stesso significato. » (12)
« In Italia l'uso della lingua inglese è molto diffuso ma questo non c'è discapito della nostra
lingua madre, ma è visto bensi come un arricchimento culturale. » (12)
« Le parole inglesi mi permettono di comunicare con persone che non conoscono l'italiano. »

« Tutte le parole usate in internet sono inglesi. » (14)

5.1.2.4. Comparison
This section will now compare the results concerning the attitudes towards Anglicisms in
the French, German and Italian language communities.

108
Generally speaking, non-native speakers of English (of whatever nationality) more
frequently make use of English words in spoken language than they would employ in texts
written in their mother tongue.
The Italians seem to use more English terms in written documents than do speakers of
French or German. Speakers of the German language, on the other hand, tend to most
frequently employ English words in oral communication, with speakers of French ranking
highest indicating a balanced diffusion of Anglicisms in the spoken AND written channel.
10% of the Italians claim to never use English words when communicating, compared to
7% in the French language community. I would have assumed the figure of French
speakers who do not make use of English words to be considerably higher, as France holds
a prominent position regarding purism in language usage.
***
Moving on to the comparison of situational use of English words, it is interesting to note
that, on the whole, the Italians claim to use Anglicisms either in their profession or in
everyday life, whereas speakers of French and German tend to apply English words
equally in both contexts.

The below illustration shows that, basically, speakers of the languages examined no longer
notice English words in everyday/professional usage – with this being a clear clue to full
integration into one’s (or a language’s) vocabulary.
Speakers of German more openly admit seeing the English influence as an enrichment to
their other tongue than do Italians – and speakers of French.
I would have thought that US dominance is an obvious indication as to why the English
influence on other nation’s lexicons steadily grows, but the figures say that it is primarily
the German speakers who follow my assumption – along with the French speakers’
judgement. Few Italians (less than half the speakers of German) see the origin of the ever
spreading use of English words as US dominance. Here the question arises where they
would, then, see its source …

Question 5
Fig.33: Comparison – The distribution of English words in various sectors
As to the diffusion of Anglicisms in subject fields, the only correspondences the above
diagram reveals are seen concerning the Internet and sports. Distribution considerably
differs in youth language (with German speakers opting for more than twice as many
occurrences as do Italians and speakers of French), business & economy (with once again
the ‘Germans’ more frequently noticing English words in this sector) and politics (with,
this time, Italian vocabulary noticeably differing from French or German language use).
***
Within the next section I will turn to the examples of English words in use given in the
respective questionnaires.

5.1.3. The ‘Top Ten’ of Anglicisms in the examined languages
In the questionnaires I not only asked people to select an appropriate answer, I also asked
them to give examples to each answer80 and it was interesting to find out that only two
English terms rank in the top ten of French, German and Italian results :

Interesting to note is that four Anglicisms ranking in the French top ten are not mentioned
in LNPR: mail, web, download, e-mail. This fact may be due to my ‘old’ 1997 electronic
version of the Petit Robert, as I definitely claim these words to actually have penetrated the
French lexicon – although there is evidence of e-mail (with its variation mail) to have been

‘abolished’ in 1997: “Die Délégation générale à la langue franíaise, zuständig für die
Reinhaltung der französischen Sprache, hat die E-Mail abgeschafft – und die Académie
franíaise hat zugestimmt. Statt des ungeliebten Anglizismus, mag er auch weltweit
verbreitet sein, heißt es in Frankreich künftig mél für messagerie électronique. In allen
offiziellen Schriftstücken ist fortan nur noch diese Form zulässig.“82

5.2. Projects in progress against the use of Anglicisms
To conclude this chapter, I will now go into some detail concerning the national efforts
being made against English influence in the French, German and Italian vocabulary. I will,
however, refrain from dwelling on minute information or interpretation as to the different
projects, but briefly outline their main purposes (and provide the corresponding web sites
for further reading).
At this place, let me mention the personal interest I took in dealing with this section.
Undoubtedly, I am well aware of the English influence on several – if not to say – all
languages, but why fight Anglicisms? I do ‘love’ my German mother tongue with all its
difficulties in grammar, I cannot help but feeling as if I were ‘special and privileged’ when
speaking melodious French and it is definitely the Italian language that implies a certain
kind of Mediterranean lifestyle along with ‘real’ culture, but I also appreciate the
expressiveness of the English language. It is for these reasons that I would just argue to not
opt for either English influence or French, German and Italian linguistic purism – let
vocabularies develop in their natural way: languages are ‘living’ constructions, borrowing
words, assimilating words, losing words, etc.
Nonetheless, there are efforts being made against the use of Anglicisms …
5.2.1. La Loi Toubon
“Language policy in France includes status planning and corpus planning. Status planning involves
the application of a law passed in 1994 entitled Law on the Use of the French language, known as
the Loi Toubon (from the name of the minister who proposed it). Corpus planning consists of
Terminology Committees (commissions terminologiques) established since 1972 in each ministry
to devise and promote French words. The 1975 language law made the use of the French terms
obligatory, but this obligation was suppressed by the 1994 law.”84
So, what does the 1994 Loi Toubon say? (The original text is to be seen in the Internet in
its original French version, along with an English and a German version, at
http://www.culture.fr/dglf/lois/presentation_lois.html)
84
116
According to Truchot85, la Loi Toubon
•
makes it a right for a contribution to be read in French (at a conference taking place
in France)86.
•
(in theory) excludes the domain of professional use – except that work contracts
and collective agreements have to be written in French
•
makes French obligatory on French radio and television channels
•
makes sure that, above all, information to consumers is the only domain that the
law really addresses
•
declares French to be the language of education (with the exception of the teaching
of foreign languages)
•
obliges speakers of French to use terms coined by the ministerial Terminology
Committees (as this obligation met with fierce opposition and was considered to be
an infringement of individual liberties, the French Constitutional Council retained
the obligation only for state communications and suppressed it for common use)
Paradox as it may seem, the ‘Cahier de termes officielles’ (containing English words that
are recommended or obligatorily to be replaced by French equivalents or neologisms)
published in 1994 by the government and the Terminology Committees is the most
comprehensive list of Anglicisms in the French language (it is, however, not up-to-date
and you should therefore consult the Internet homepages of the Délégation générale à la
langue franíaise, which will be dealt with in the footnotes to the subsequent paragraph).
Additionally to the current work of the various Terminology Committees (each covering
different sector, such as sport, the Internet, etc.)87, the French ministry of culture and the
French tourism association collaborate in the Internet, on the one hand, to ‘internationalise’
the French language (with 84% of the homepages held in English compared to 1.8%
French homepages) and, on the other hand, to call for constructive help in ‘creating’ new
85
cf. Truchot, The spread of English, p. 74
... with a more compelling measure included in the first version of the law stating that funds can only be
given to scientific research the results of which are published in French
87
Interesting to look at are http://crete.argyro.net/lexique/liste.cfm (for the French Olympic sports
terminology), http://www.olf.gouv.qc.ca/ressources/golf/golf.html (for recommended language use when
playing golf in the French speaking world), http://www.culture.fr/culture/dglf/cogether/16-03-99internet.html (for French Internet terminology) and http://www.culture.fr/culture/dglf/foot.htm (for football
terminology)

words to avoid Anglicicms at http://www.culture.fr/culture/dglf.88 These pages provide an
excellent overview of French-English equivalents.
5.2.2. ‘Verein deutsche Sprache’ and ’Wiener Sprachblätter’
“As a country that designed this specific language policy, France appears to be an exception in
Europe. This may suggest that it is the only country to fight the spread of English in Europe. This
would be a superficial observation. The main difference lies in the fact that France has advertised
its policy whereas other European countries have proceeded differently.”89
The German speaking world does not have any kind of language policy, it has, however,
associations and societies which resist Anglicisms.
In Germany, it is primarily the ’Verein deutsche Sprache’ (formerly: ’Verein zur Wahrung
der deutschen Sprache’) which consequently ’fights’ English influence. The primary object
and aims of the association may be seen at http:///www.vds-ev.de.
In Austria, it is the ‘Verein Muttersprache’ that publishes ‘Wiener Sprachblätter’ – leaflets
dealing with purism on the level of language and language contact – and argue for a
restriction on the use of English words.
Last year (2000), ’Verein Deutsche Sprache’ and ’Wiener Sprachblätter’ started a petition
as to the use of English words, the results of which will be only available by 200290 at:
http://www.vds-ev.de/denglish/anglizismen
http://mailbox.univie.ac.at/~fischeg4/Unterschriftenaktion.html.
Here is a sample of the petition of ‘Wiener Sprachblätter’:

Sehr geehrter Herr Bundeskanzler Dr. Schüssel!
Sehr geehrte Frau Vizekanzler Dr. Riess-Passer!
Im Europäischen Jahr der Sprachen ersuchen wir Sie, sich für die Pflege und den Schutz unserer
Muttersprache einzusetzen und gegen Sprachverfall aufzutreten. Unsere Muttersprache wird
derzeit von Anglizismen überflutet, die zum Großteil überflüssig sind: die freshe Milch statt die
frische Milch, Event statt Ereignis / Veranstaltung, Family-life statt Familienleben, Prime time statt
Hauptsendezeit usw. usf. zu sagen stellt keine kulturelle Bereicherung dar. Auch „angloide“ Wörter
zu erfinden, die es im Angloamerikanischen gar nicht gibt (z.B. Handy, Twen, Smoking), läuft eher
auf eine Verarmung als eine Bereicherung unserer Muttersprache hinaus. Weit über 50% der
Österreicher beherrschen Englisch nicht, werden also vom öffentlichen Leben ausgeschlossen,
aber auch Einwanderer aus dem Osten, die Englisch in der Schule nicht gelernt haben; das
„Denglische“ ist also
undemokratisch und ausländerfeindlich.
Die Rechtschreibung wird erschwert, denn Squatter oder downloaden sind schwerer zu schreiben
als Hausbesetzer und herunterladen. Wenn zu viele deutsche durch englische oder
scheinenglische Ausdrücke ersetzt werden, wird unsere Literatur, auch die des 20. Jahrhunderts,
bald unlesbar werden.
Wir ersuchen Sie aus diesen Gründen, auf öffentliche Stellen und auf
Rundfunk und Fernsehen, die ja einen öffentlichen Bildungsauftrag haben, einzuwirken,
mehr verständliche einheimische Ausdrücke zu verwenden.
[Es sind auch Unterschriften aus anderen Ländern als Österreich willkommen!
Bitte ausdrucken, unterschreiben und, wenn möglich, ablichten,
viele Unterschriften sammeln und senden an:
Verein „Muttersprache“, Wien, Postfach 173, A 1081 Wien, Österreich]
5.2.3. Italian projects
As I did not find any evidence of Italian projects against the use of Anglisicms in the
Internet, I consulted two persons that have sent back to me the questionnaires concerning
attitudes towards the use of Anglicisms, both of them confirming that there is ‘nothing’
being done in order to prevent English words to penetrate the Italian vocabulary:
“Sarò felice di aiutarti se mi è possibile. Per rispondere alle tue domande, in Italia non esistono
enti, società, istituzioni ufficiali che vigilano sugli influssi delle lingue straniere. Un tempo esisteva
l’Accademia della Crusca ed alcune volte qualcuno tende a proporre limiti all’uso di queste
influenze estere, ma senza successo.”
“Rispondo con piacere alle tue domande, anche perché sono una insegnante e capisco il valore del
grande lavoro che stai per fare. Mi informerò, ma non credo che ci siano leggi di questo genere.
Ora abbiamo un governo abbastanza aperto riguardo a questo.”
119
6. CONCLUSION
With this study I endeavour to demonstrate how Anglicisms (any borrowing from English
that constitutes a new word) are dealt with in the language systems of French, German and
Italian. The sources for my analysis are the prevailing general monolingual dictionaries of
the languages stated (English, German, French and Italian): The Concise Oxford
Dictionary of the English language, Duden –Deutsches Universalwörterbuch, Le Nouveau
Petit Robert and Lo Zingarelli.
Starting with theoretical introductory approaches to lexicographical principles (the
structure of dictionaries) and the presentation of the corpus data for this paper (chapter 2:
The Corpus), I continue with the methodology of linguistic borrowing and different models
of loan terminology: Examples as to the various ways of linguistic borrowing are given
with reference to a model I created out of five customary models of terminology (chapter
3: Terminology and status of linguistic borrowing).
The primary object of this paper is to compare dictionary entries in French, German and
Italian: On the one hand, I deal with correspondences and variations concerning these three
replica languages and, on the other hand, I go into some detail on the subject of
assimilation and adaptation as to the distinctive features of borrowed English terms in
foreign vocabularies (chapter 4).
Chapter 4, dealing with English Internationalisms, thus, is divided into two main sections:
Authentic and assimilated English Internationalisms.
In the first part of my analysis of English Internationalisms I deal with authentic forms of
borrowings from English, meaning words that are directly borrowed from English and
adapted by a foreign lexicon in an unaltered way:
On the level of graphology and orthography of compound words borrowed from English,
direct lexical borrowings into German tend to take up the original English spelling (be it
separate, directly combined or spelled with hyphen). The French language primarily
applies hyphen-spelling to English loan words and the Italian dictionary proves evidence of
120
an (only) occasional use of directly combined compound words. For the most part, the
Italian language also tends to adapt compounds in their original English form.
As to the phonetics/phonology level, it can be stated that, principally, English
Internationalisms (strictly speaking all Anglicisms) are realised as a partial imitation of the
English pronunciation in French, German and Italian alike.
Concerning morphology and syntax, English Interationalisms primarily apply to
inflectional morphology in the language systems of the replica languages. Characteristics
of borrowed English Internationalisms (exact reproductions of an English expression in all
three host languages) reveal that English nouns are, predominantly, attributed a masculine
(occasionally also neuter in German) grammatical gender. Furthermore, they are usually
marked with a plural ‘s’ in French and German, but are invariable in the Italian language
system.
The stylistics section reveals that English Internationalisms (generally, all words borrowed
from another language) fulfil several functions: They denote different kinds of style, they
motivate associations and connotations, they endorse euphemism and they act as a signal in
text production.
As far as semantics is concerned, my observation results in direct lexical borrowings from
English tending to only adopt one original meaning to the replica language – with
occasional semantic narrowing (e.g. container in German), repeated semantic extensions,
(e.g. pole position in French and Italian), and even shifts in meaning (e.g. boom in French).
The second part of chapter 4 deals with assimilated English Internationalisms, i.e. words
that have undergone various kinds of assimilation processes in order to fit the linguistic
systems of the replica languages in question.
Derivational morphology, in this paper, primarily concerns assimilated forms of English
Internationalisms – since English loans assimilated on this level have undergone a native
process of word formation by means of creating new words of different categories out of a
borrowed stem by adding derivational morphemes. Without doubt, the prime example of
this phenomenon of interference of direct lexical borrowing and native word formation
121
processes is the derivation of verbs out of borrowed English nouns, e.g. the German
boomen from boom, the French charteriser from charter and the Italian zumare from
zoom.
Other examples of derivational morphology are assimilated nouns. These forms mainly
originate in the Greek and Latin language, but they are, nevertheless, treated as
Anglicisms, since the dictionaries in question claim them to infiltrate the French, German
and Italian language systems via English influence.
My dealing with Anglicisms on the stylistic level brought me to think about a more
practical approach to this study on the English influence on modern French, German and
Italian. Several questions arose: Why do non-native speakers of English use English words
in their mother tongue and when do they employ them? What is their attitude towards this
use? Are there domains in which Anglicisms are primarily to be observed? In view of
these queries, I decided to compose questionnaires to be sent to speakers of French,
German and Italian (chapter 5: Attitudes towards English influence).
In general, the resulting answers on attitudes towards the English influence in French,
German and Italian language systems reveal that
• non-native speakers of English primarily employ English words in oral communication
• Anglicisms are used equally frequent in professional and everyday life
• English words seem to be principally employed for their being shorter and more precise,
for there being no native equivalent and for their being internationally fixed
• speakers of French, German and Italian no longer really notice English words in actual
language usage
• English words, chiefly, are said to be an enrichment of the host language’s lexicon –
with the outstanding position of the US to be the cause of their spread
• in French, German and Italian alike, it is principally the domain of the Internet and
sports which most frequently provide evidence of English words
122
Dealing with people’s attitudes, I also became aware of associations (and even laws) to
take action against the ‘English burden’.
Therefore, in the second section of chapter 5, I refer to the major projects (laws, petitions,
etc.) now in progress against English influence – expressing my own hope for mankind not
to opt for ‘false’ linguistic purism in the French, German and Italian speaking worlds since
languages are ‘living’ constructions.
***
We do not know what lies in store for us in the future, but let me emphasise once again that
linguistic borrowing is but one phenomenon in the development of a language’s
vocabulary.

alle Titel, die Sie nennen - "Duden - Das große Fremdwörterbuch", "Duden Das große Wörterbuch der deutschen Sprache" und das Universalwörterbuch sind für Ihre Recherche geeignet; sie basieren auf gewissenhaften
Untersuchungen des heutigen Sprachgebrauchs und sind auch als CD-ROM bei
Ihrem Buchhändler erhältlich. Allerdings wird keinem dieser Werke die
Herkunft der Komposita nochmals angezeigt, wenn bereits die Herkunft des
130
Grundwortes und die des Bestimmungswortes jeweils unter den entsprechenden
Lemmata beschrieben wurden. Sie müssten also tatsächlich, wenn die Suche
nach "engl." beispielsweise unter anderem "Baby" ergeben hat, die
zugehörigen Komposita von Hand auswerten.
Zitieren dürfen Sie unsere Werke natürlich (unter Angabe der Quelle) - wir
freuen uns darüber!
Einzelne Artikel aus der PC-Bibliothek kopiere ich über das
"Copy-and-Paste"-Verfahren häufig in andere Dokumente; dazu müssen diese
aber erst geöffnet und der Inhalt markiert werden. Teile der Stichwortliste
können in ein Benutzerwörterbuch kopiert werden; das Benutzerwörterbuch
können Sie dann exportieren.
Bei weiteren technischen Fragen wird man Ihnen gerne unter der Nummer (0 18
05) 12 45 78 behilflich sein. Haben Sie noch Fragen
sprachwissenschaftlicher bzw. lexikographischer Natur, so wenden Sie sich
bitte telefonisch an die Duden-Sprachberatung (E-Mails können wir leider
nur ausnahmsweise beantworten). Anrufe aus dem Ausland beantworten wir nach
wie vor kostenfrei. Sie erreichen uns unter der Telefonnummer +49 6 21 39
01-4 21.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen und den besten Wünschen für das Gelingen Ihrer
Arbeit

Thema: Duden Online-Anfrage bzgl. Produktinformationen
Abteilung: Produktinformationen
Anmerkung: Sehr geehrte Damen und Herren,
Ich studiere an der Universität Klagenfurt, Österreich, Anglistik und
Romanistik, und bin gerade dabei, meine Diplomarbeit zum Thema "Anglicisms
in modern French, German and Italian - a comparative study" zu schreiben.
Nun ist es so, dass ich die jeweiligen Standardwerke, sprich Duden, Robert
und Zingarelli, in ihren elektronischen Versionen auf Gemeinsamkeiten
untersuchen will, um sog. Internationalismen (bezüglich Graphologie,
Aussprache und Semantik)der Gegenwartssprache zu finden. Nach meinen ersten
Versuchen einer Gesamterfassung der "Anglizismen" im Duden-Die deutsche
131
Rechtschreibung 22 (Buchstaben A bis H), bemerkte ich, dass über die Hälfte
der im Wörterbuch eingetragenen Anglizismen nicht markiert ist (<engl.>)
(z.B. markiert: Baby, Babysitter; unmarkiert: Babyaktie,Babyboom, Babyfon,
Babyjahr, Babynahrung, babysitten, Babyspeck, Babyzelle - Komposita, die in
anderen Einträgen im Duden unter <engl.-dt> fallen würden) und somit eine
weitere elektronische Suche wenig Erfolg verspräche.
Es ist mir klar, dass der Duden – Die deutscheRechstschreibung keineswegs als
Universalwörterbuch anzusehen ist. Müßte ich demnach zum Duden-Fremdwörterbuch
greifen, um die gewünschtenInformationen zu bekommen (und stellt das
Fremdwörterbuch auch den tatsächlichen Sprachgebrauch dar?) oder wäre der
Duden-DeutschesUniversalwörterbuch ausreichend? Der Duden- Das große WB
der deutschen Sprache? Oder haben Sie andere Vorschläge? Zudem fiel mir auf, dass es
nicht möglich ist, die gesamten gefunden Einträge in ein anderes Dokument
zu kopieren. Meine Frage bezüglich der Benutzung des elektronischen
Wörterbuchs wäre also, ob ich überhaupt dazu berechtigt bin, die Einträge
im Duden als Quelle der Anglizismen im Gegenwartsdeutsch in meiner
Diplomarbeit zu verwenden (sprich: Basis für Fragebögen, lexikographische
Auseinandersetzung mit den verschiedenen Einträgen, Korpusmaterial für den
Vergleich mit dem Robert und dem Zingarelli zur Suche nach Gemeinsamkeiten,
Internationalismen, etc.)?
Ich hoffe, Sie können mir in dieser Sache weiterhelfen, zumal ich mich
gerade wegen des großen Aufstandes um den Gebrauch von Anglizismen und der
großen Zahl an verschiedensten veröffentlichten "Wörterbüchern" (ich kann
mich in meiner Arbeit aus Gründen der Aktualität nur teilweise auf DAS Werk
der deutschen Anglizismen-Bearbeitung von Carstensen und Busse beziehen) an
ein Standardwerk der deutschen Sprache richte. Dass sich eine Sprache
täglich ändert ist mir ebenso klar, wie die Tatsache, dass es einer langen
Prozedur bedarf, ein Wort überhaupt in das WB aufzunehmen. Es geht mir bei
meiner Diplomarbeit allein darum, herauszufinden, welchen
Anglizismen-Wortschatz (für diesen Zweck: eindeutig erkennbare englische
Wörter) die jeweilige Sprache in der zuletzt veröffentlichten elektronischen
Form aufweist und ob es Gemeinsamkeiten zwischen den Sprachen,
Internationalismen, gibt.
Ich danke Ihnen im Voraus für die Hilfe und verbleibe
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Au secours!!!Anglomanie!!! Je m'appelle Philippa Maurer-Stroh et je fais des études de la
linguistique anglaise à l'université de Klagenfurt, Autriche. J'aimerais te demander du
secours concernant ma diplôme. Il s'agit d'une enquête: "Les mots anglais dans la langue

prie de prendre ton temps à répondre aux questions posées et de me renvoyer le
questionnaire, s'il te plaît. Ce questionnaire est anonyme et les réponses ne servent qu'à
l'exposé d'une statistique de l'emploi actuel de la langue française.

(1) Questionnaire “ITALIAN“
Aiuto !!! Anglomania !!! Mi chiamo Philippa Maurer-Stroh e faccio gli studi della
linguistica inglese all'università di Klagenfurt, Austria. Vorrei pregarti di tua assistenza per
la mia tesi. Si tratta di un'inchiesta sulle parole inglesi nella lingua italiana e la tua opinione
su quest'argomento. Allora, ti prega di sacrificare 3 minuti del tuo tempo per rispondere
alle domande e di rimandarmi le risposte. Questo questionario è anonimo e serve soltanto
dall'esposizione di una statistica sull'uso attuale della lingua italiana:
Segni con una croce quel che è giusto per te -> sostituire o con x

sono la conseguenza della posizione altolocata degli Stati Uniti in
vari settori
per me significano una forma di millanteria
non ne me accorgo più
