A Dictionary of European Anglicisms

The influence of English on other languages has been noticed (and often criticized) by individual speech communities before, and indeed documented in various national dictionaries of Anglicisms, but this volume provides a comparative treatment of this widespread and contemporary phenomenon.

Manfred Gölach, a scholar well-known for his excellent studies in the field of historical linguistics and on the varieties of English around the world, has come up with an extraordinary idea: that of producing a dictionary of anglicisms which can be found no later than 1995 in sixteen European languages, belonging to different language families.

Klappentext
The first dictionary of its kind to provide an exhaustive comparative treatment of the influence of English on other European languages. Covering sixteen selected languages from different language families, entries consist of words which are recognizably English in form and which appear in at least one of the languages tested. Entries are comprised of a brief definition, followed by a summary paragraph containing a wealth of historical and linguistic information. Many entries are also accompanied by a grid summarizing the distribution of the word across Europe.
