The aim of the paper is to analyse post-1989 Anglicisms in present-day Slovak. Central concepts of the study are neologisms (new items in the lexicon of a language), present-day Slovak (the Slovak language from 1989 onwards), borrowing (one of several ways of lexical enrichment) and adaptation (the process of adapting loans into Slovak as a recipient language). The most extensive part consists of sections devoted to particular adaptation processes on the levels of phonology, orthography, morphology, word-formation, semantics and pragmatics. Finally, the paper addresses the issues of the variability and synonymy of English borrowings in Slovak.

5. INTERNATIONALISMS, ANGLO-LATINISMS AND OTHER KINSHIP TIES BETWEEN ITALIAN AND ENGLISH.

KINSHIP ,INTERNATIONALISM ,LANGUAGE contact ,ITALIAN language ,ETYMOLOGY - Abstract
In the analysis of language contact and borrowing, the category of internationalism denotes lexical items that are formally and semantically similar across unrelated languages, mainly of neo-classical origin. Internationalisms are characteristically unmarked for a specific national provenance, like the pair En electricity / It elettricità. On the other hand, many similar examples, such as En romantic and It romantico, are the result of borrowings from English into Italian, a fact that can be established only on historical grounds, because the word itself does not reveal any trace of foreignness to the lay Italian speaker, being Italian a Latin-based language. In this paper, the lexical category of internationalism will be defined and set apart from other outcomes of language contact, like direct and indirect Anglicisms, Anglo-Latinisms, and other forms of linguistic kinship between these two, partly unrelated, European languages. Linguistic factors such as etymology, route of transmission, and non-linguistic ones such as historical events and motivation for borrowing (Wexler 1969) are used for this analysis, which will be applied to relevant examples of Italian vocabulary.

Highlights: [•] The paper proposes a new analytical apparatus for the study of borrowing of discourse-pragmatic items. [•] Pragmatic borrowing includes the borrowing of discourse markers, interjections, expletives, vocatives, intonation, gestures, etc. [•] Pragmatic borrowing is often characterised by post hoc adaptation, which may be functional narrowing, broadening or shift. [•] The paper offers a case study of functional adaptation of the English-based expletive fuck and the discourse markers yeah right, sorry and hello in Norwegian. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The paper deals with the reception of new anglicisms by native speakers of Serbian, from semantic and pragmatic viewpoints, through theoretical and empirical observations. The main goal of the paper is to demonstrate to what extent and in what ways speakers understand anglicisms which they regularly encounter in Serbian daily newspapers and weekly magazines. It is through Grice's Cooperative Principle that the relationship between the journalist and the reader is examined and described. The conclusions are based on an analysis of the results of a large-scale research project conducted on a representative sample of native speakers who constitute the target readership of the selected newspapers and magazines. The research tool – an extensive written questionnaire – was created on the basis of a large corpus of anglicisms extracted from non-specialist daily and weekly press. The results of the analysis corroborate the initial hypothesis that there are varying degrees of noise in the communication channel between the journalist and reader, and that the journalist does not adhere to the Cooperative Principle. The way in which one of its maxims is regularly disregarded cannot fit into the existing classification and displays characteristics of a new category here termed ‘neglecting the maxim of manner’.

Abstract: Departing from the traditional and controversial distinction between necessary and luxury loans, this paper proposes a differentiation into catachrestic and non-catachrestic innovations which mirror two general pragmatic effects of borrowings. As such, the paper deconstructs the notions of necessary and luxury loans and proposes a new set of terms rooted in rhetorical tradition. At the same time, the criterion of semantic equivalence between borrowings and existing terms in a language is taken as a valid starting point for categorizing loans as catachrestic and non-catachrestic. Levinson''s theory of presumptive meanings supports this distinction since catachrestic anglicisms in German (e.g. E-Mail, Computer, and Internet) mainly bear I-implicatures (of informativeness) whereas borrowings such as cool, Kids, and Airport evoke M-implicatures (of manner) as marked lexical choices. This pragmatic framework is tested on about 100 highly frequent anglicisms in German. The study combines the consultation of major reference works with the analysis of usage-based data from a German newsmagazine corpus and the Internet. While the results show that a basic pragmatic classification of anglicisms in German is possible, usage-based evidence highlights that I- and M-implicatures are interwoven in a number of cases and that the pragmatic values of borrowings are susceptible to change over time.

When lexemes are borrowed from a foreign language they go through different phases of integration, typically divided into four types: phonetic, orthographic, morphological, and semantic. The question of which gender to assign to a loanword and which gender assignment criteria to apply is still ambiguous in linguistics. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to determine the regularities of gender assignment to lexicalized and non-lexicalized anglicisms in German within linguistics and glottodidactics. In addition, the present study also investigates the question of whether deviations in gender assignment, in the case of lexicalized anglicisms from our corpus, can be explained by their semantic differences. The corpus for our research is composed of a total of 194 scientific articles, containing a wide range of linguistic topics and issues in the field of glottodidactics. The analysis showed that different criteria are used to assign different genders. Thus, in the case of feminine and neutral nouns, the suffixal analogy prevails, while in the case of masculine nouns, semantic analogy and monosyllabicity play a greater role.

The article aims to identify some implied sense markers in the poetic text to draw translators' attention to their reproduction and scholars of translation on their analysis. The study of the creation, decoding, and translation of implied sense as a constituent of a poem's macro-image structure in general, and with the untranslatable form of poetical implied sense based on Anglicism dispersion in the text of the American verse in particular, contributes to a better perception of the original poem and promotes finding ways of its adequate reconstruction in translation. This paper pioneers the idea that poetic implied sense as a psycholinguistic category is interpreted as making primary content of a poem and is considered a dominant image in poetic translation. Semantic context significance in poetic implied sense interpretation and translation are revealed. The presence of implied sense in poems is characterized by the text markers that help disclose it and direct translators. Poetical implied sense is determined as implied sense image functioning within a poem macro-image structure. Implied sense image decoding and rendering requires prior examination of the system of inner textual and extra-textual context relationships and psycholinguistic aspects of poetic discourse. Among the main tools applied in this study is the method of macro-analysis of a poetic work, which involves comparison of the original and translation at the level of autosemantic, synsemantic and subsemantic (implied sense) images and, in particular, text analysis to identify purely linguistic and psycholinguistic implied sense markers for its decoding and reproduction in translation, and factor analysis (principal components method) to determine the features of the semantics of the poetic original and translated texts. As a result of this research, it is discovered that signals-markers of the poetic implied sense are simultaneous actualization of the meanings of the same word and scattered inclusions of Anglicisms in American verse, which form an implied sense that is difficult to translate.

Common Usage vs Codified Standard: Problems with the Codification of Anglicisms in the Contemporary Russian Language This article focuses on the important problem of codification of the most recent borrowings of British and American English origins in the contemporary Russian language. Standardization of loanwords is a current issue of vital importance, as it has a global reach, which means that it affects not only the Russian language but many other national languages that are under the influence of the English language – the contemporary lingua franca. The codification of the lexis of foreign origin is examined based on material obtained from contemporary lifestyle magazines published in Russian. This type of press disseminates borrowed neologisms particularly intensively and, at the same time, creates the language use of the given discourse. The excerpted vocabulary items have been confronted with the lexis of the most recent Russian spelling dictionaries. The deliberations contained in this paper show a fragment of linguistic reality changing under the influence of ubiquitous English language, where common usage competes with the linguistic norm. The article shows the difficulties caused by lexical transfer of loanwords faced by specialists in prescriptive linguistics (e.g. a common problem of orthographic variation). Norma uzualna vs norma skodyfikowana. O problemach kodyfikacji anglicyzmów we współczesnym języku rosyjskim Niniejszy artykuł zwraca uwagę na istotny problem kodyfikacji najnowszych zapożyczeń anglo-amerykańskiej proweniencji we współczesnej ruszczyźnie. Temat standaryzacji zapożyczeń jest aktualny i niezwykle ważny, bowiem ma on zasięg globalny, zatem dotyczy nie tylko języka rosyjskiego, lecz wielu innych języków narodowych, które znajdują się pod wpływem angielszczyzny – współczesnej lingua franca. Badanie kodyfikacji leksyki obcego pochodzenia oparto na materiale zaczerpniętym z najnowszych rosyjskojęzycznych czasopism kolorowych typu life style. Ten rodzaj prasy szczególnie ochoczo rozpowszechnia zapożyczone neologizmy, jednocześnie kreuje uzus danego dyskursu. Wyekscerpowany materiał porównano z leksyką zawartą w najnowszych słownikach ortograficznych języka rosyjskiego. Niniejsze rozważania dają obraz fragmentu rzeczywistości językowej zmieniającej się pod wpływem wszechobecnej angielszczyzny, w której uzus konkuruje z normą językową. Ponadto wskazano tu szereg problemów wywoływanych zapożyczeniami leksykalnymi, z którymi zmagają się specjaliści z obszaru językoznawstwa normatywnego (np. powszechny problem wariantywności ortograficznej zapożyczeń).

Being surrounded by English language leads us to think that anglicisms are found in everyday language. Innevitably, even children of primary school age come into contact with anglicisms. The online classes that were conducted, and due to the epidemic of the Kovid 19 virus, made the availability of words of foreign origin, in this case from the English-speaking area, even easier. The subject of this paper is to examine the differences in the use of anglicisms among pupils ofthe primary school in Kosovska Mitrovica, aged 9 to 12 years, in relation to sociodemographic variables (gender, grade and age of students, school successand educational level of parents and socioeconomic status of the family). Online survey was conducted offering words of Serbian and English origin with the aim of giving an insight into how many foreign words are used instead of domestic ones. The research found that a statistically significant difference exists only between pupils whose mothers are of different educational levels. Other hypotheses have not been confirmed.

Research on anglicisms in Polish has nearly a century-long tradition, yet it was Jacek Fisiak's 1960s–1980s studies on English loanwords that initiated continuous academic interest in anglicisms, coinciding with more intensive English-Polish language contact in post-war Poland. While English loans have been well-researched in the last four decades, the ongoing intensity of English lexical influence on Polish, yielding not only new loans but also new loan types, calls for further studies, especially in the area of quickly developing professional jargons and sociolects. The influx of English-sourced lexis is reflected in the diversity of semantic fields, whose number has grown from 18 (identified in Słownik warszawski 1900–1927) to 45 (Mańczak-Wohlfeld 1995). A semantic field that has been underresearched in studies on Polish anglicisms is the LGBTQ+-related lexis, which has drawn from American English gayspeak, shaped by the post-Stonewall gay rights movement initiated in the 1970s. The language data analysed in this study have been collected in a two-stage procedure, which included manual extraction of anglicisms sourced in a diversified corpus of LGBTQ+-related written texts, published in Polish between 2004 and 2020. The second stage involved oral interviews which served a verification function. The aim of this study is to contribute to the lexicographic attempts at researching English-sourced LGBTQ+-related vocabulary in Polish through its identification, excerption, and classification. Assuming an onomasiological approach to borrowing, we arrange LGBTQ+-related anglicisms on a decreasing foreignness scale to identify the borrowing techniques adopted by the recipient language speakers in the loan nativization process. We also address issues related to the identification and semantics of loans, and sketch areas of research on loan pragmatic functions that need further studies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Trends in the modern world are always reflected in the language of every nation. The Ukrainian language is changing extremely fast, many words become archaisms, but new artifacts are emerging. This process is explained, among the other factors, by the extensive use of computer technologies, everyday virtual communication, which contributed to the introduction of a certain trend for the use of the English-language slang by the Ukrainians and the introduction of new taxons in the Ukrainian language. The purpose of the article is to reveal the influence of the English-language slang on the contemporary Ukrainian language. The theoretical significance of the work lies in the fact that its provisions and conclusions concretize and deepen the linguistic ideas about the relationship between languages, the way of introduction and translation of borrowings. The practical application of the research results is possible in the professional activities of translators, in the practice of translation and in the development of dictionaries of the modern Ukrainian language. The paper presents the examples of formation and use of slang words in the English-language sphere, outlines the use of polysemantic words or phrases both in the English-language discourse and in the speech of the Ukrainians. In the course of the study, it was found that, as a rule, slang gets into the vocabulary of the Ukrainian language by borrowing, more often – by scraping or transcribing, sometimes it is possible to use a descriptive translation or to add explanations to the text. The article gives the examples of the use of popular English-language slang in the Ukrainian discourse, in particular, in social networks, TV broadcasts, journalistic texts, or everyday conversations.

The English language has enriched Italian with numerous words and expressions that complement existing Italian lexis. Many linguists perceive the extent of English influence as a potentially overwhelming and dangerous tendency. However, the percentage of English lexis in Italian remains relatively low if compared to the language's overall structure and is noticeable mostly in the sphere of politics, pop culture, mass media, journalism, sport and tourism. Borrowing is regarded as one of the major means of enriching language vocabulary that often engulfs foreign elements in its structural patterns. The adaptation process incorporates the borrowed structure as a natural part of the borrowing language. This study attempts to examine and exemplify in chronological order the progressive development of such an influence demonstrating modifications and nomenclature of English loanwords in the qualitative and quantitative aspects. The key findings are exemplified by contemporary tourist terminology. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This paper presents the results of a sociolinguistic survey of students conducted on the basis of a corpus of interviews gathered at the Institute of Philology and Cross Cultural Communication, Volgograd State University. The experimental study was aimed at the recognition of loan-words belonging to different thematic groups by the undergraduates and graduates. The findings of the research may be referred to the solution of ecolinguistic problems as they are oriented to researching the language speakers' mental processes while assimilating foreign words. The analysis has shown that the students' foreign language competence may not only define the variety of associations referring to the loan-word meanings, but is also able to lead to false interpretations. The contrastive analysis of the findings in the junior and senior groups of students revealed that the quantity of zero reactions to the foreign words awareness was almost equal. However, the undergraduates' reaction to the semantics of imported words was more creative, which testifies to their willingness in exposing their linguistic skills. The involvement of students in some activities (business, IT, fashion, sport, entertainment) is probably a significant motivating factor in assimilating foreign words, but the interpretation of loanwords in the sphere of politics and terminology is a problematic issue for the young native speakers of Russian.

The word-stock of any language may be subdivided into the sets. The elements of one are native, the elements of another are borrowed. Borrowings are modified in phonetic shape, spelling or meaning according to the standards of the recipient language. The process of interpenetration is constantly going on. One penetrated into a certain language system, a loan word is assimilated and undergoes semantic changes. The greater are the changes, the weaker is the connection of the word with its traditional use in the original language. According to the latest lexicographic data we can speak of a formation tendency of new lexical equivalents in Indo-European languages and the necessity to study them. The French language, which is the object of the study of language, consists of several varieties. The vocabulary of the language is constantly changing, to a greater or lesser extent. Changes are tracked and recorded, which allows to adequately understand modern language, which is developing as a living thing. Social changes of time, caused by changes in the structure of the socio-political system, changes in ownership and composition of active participants in communication, cause a conscious change in language norms. This is expressed primarily in the growth of variant elements of communication, a large number of new loanwords and terms, and, finally, in stylistic changes in the meaning of oral and written language, with a marked change in the domestic sphere of communication. The problem, investigated in the article, is connected with the history of penetration of foreign words, among them English, into the French language and vice versa. Everybody can withness the influence of English borrowings in one foreign language nowadays, the process of adaptation of Anglicisms. The aim of the paper is to confirm loanwords in the French language that are a result of lexical interference of two languages – two cultures – in contact. The material of the investigation is about 70 per cent of Anglicisms, picked out from the latest mass media publications in French. The scientific novelty of the research consists in the fact that Anglicisms make up a part of the French word-stock, replenish the language vocabulary

Елементи однієї - рідні, елементи іншої - запозичені. Запозичення змінюються за фонетичною формою, написанням або значенням, відповідно до стандартів мови-реципієнта. Процес взаємопроникнення постійно триває. Проникнувши в певну мовну систему, запозичене слово засвоюється і зазнає семантичних змін. Чим більші зміни, тим слабкішим є зв’язок слова з його традиційним вживанням у мові оригіналу. За останніми лексикографічними даними можна говорити про тенденцію утворення нових лексичних еквівалентів в індо-європейських мовах та про необхідність їх вивчення. Французька мова, що є об’єктом вивчення науки про мову складається з декількох різновидів. Словниковий склад мови зазнає постійних змін, більшою чи меншою мірою. Зміни відстежуються та фіксуються, що дає змогу адекватно сприймати сучасну мову, яка розвивається, як живу. Соціальні зміни часу, пов’язані зі змінами у структурі суспільно-політичного устрою, зміною форм власності і складу активних учасників комунікації, спричиняють свідому зміну мовних норм. Це виражається, насамперед, у зростанні варіантних елементів спілкування, великій кількості нових іноземних слів і термінів, і, зрештою у стилістичних змінах значення усної і писемної мови, з помітною зміною побутової сфери спілкування. Проблема, яка досліджується у статті, пов’язана з історією проникнення у французьку мову іноземних слів, зокрема з англійської, і навпаки. Кожен сьогодні може відчути вплив англійських запозичень в одній іноземній мові, процес адаптації англіцизмів. Мета роботи – підтвердити, що запозичення у французькій мові є результатом лексичної інтерференції двох мов – двох культур – у контакті. Матеріал дослідження приблизно на 70 відсотків складається з англіцизмів, відібраних з останніх публікацій у ЗМІ французькою мовою. Наукова новизна дослідження полягає в тому, що англіцизми входять до складу французького фонду слів, що поповнює словниковий запас мови

The world-wide spread of English is one of the most visible symptoms of globalization. In weak contact settings such as Western Europe, where contact with English is usually indirect, remote and asymmetrical, the English language started diffusing at a hitherto unknown rate in the second half of the twentieth century. Crucially, this diffusion happens at two different levels. First, on the macrolevel, English is more and more used as a language of (international) communication. Second, on the micro-level, English is intruding in local languages, most notably by means of lexical borrowing. So far, the macro- and micro-level of linguistic influence are hardly ever linked or simultaneously studied. Nevertheless, as will be shown in this paper, it is interesting to investigate whether a connection between both levels exists. Specifically, we present a quantitative multivariate comparison of the features underlying the choice for English at both levels of analyses, using a diachronic corpus of over 16 000 job ads published in two Dutch job ad magazines. On the macro-level, we verify what communicative and situational parameters (e.g., branch of industry of the recruiter) determine the choice for and distribution of ads written entirely in English. On the micro-level, we verify the impact of the same set of parameters on the choice for inserting English elements in ads where Dutch is the matrix language. Using two multiple logistic regression models, we can verify to which extent the mechanisms underlying language choice at both levels are different. Results show that a large difference exists in the basic proportion of English at both levels, but that quite some similarities in the distribution of English are found when zooming in on the specific parameters underlying language choice. As such, this paper advocates to perceive of the different manifestations of the spread of English as part of a continuum, rather than as isolated phenomena. Hence, we hope to provide a first step in bridging the theoretical and methodological gap between the ELF paradigm and anglicism research. ispartof: Linguistics vol:51 issue:5 pages:1019-1064 status: published

Due to its role as a lingua franca, English has become a major source of language influence worldwide. This article addresses the impact of English on German. Contact-induced influences can be observed at all levels of the linguistic system in German, extending from preferences for particular morphemes to the structure of texts and genres. This study focuses on the largely under-studied area of phraseology. Phraseological Anglicisms, i.e. word-groups and sentence-like units such as catchphrases, proverbs, formulae and slogans of English origin, are gaining ground, particularly in fields like media, journalism, advertising and entertainment. The phenomenon is analyzed here via the example of the German satirical TV program heute-show. It is shown that the modification of phraseological units is an oft-used technique of political satire. Phraseological Anglicisms represent about one third of all occurrences in the examined data set, and thus play an important role. They most commonly take the form of political slogans, titles of films and brand names. The discussion focuses on particular types of modification and whether the German audience understands and appreciates them. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Domain-specific loans mirror historical and cultural changes in specific areas of life and allow to identify the language which at a certain point in time is considered most prestigious by the recipient language users. Foreign loans are always evidence of cultural contacts of the recipient language speech community with other communities, and reflect the sharing of social, economic, political and cultural phenomena among various nations. The article offers a historical overview of Polish domain-specific Anglicisms and presents and analyses over a thousand English loans of four different types in the areas of leisure, fashion and entertainment, which have been enriching Polish since the 17
th century. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]- Published

Throughout the history German language has been influenced by many different languages today its vocabulary contains words from Latin, French, Italian and what interests me most in my diploma paper – from English. Some words have been a part of the German language for decades – those are loan words. But then again other words would keep their original spelling and pronunciation and those words remained foreign words. What interests me is the term Germlish, which is a combination of English and German language, spoken whether by foreigners trying to speak German, or by the Germans using English expressions excessively. In my diploma paper I focused on the latter version of it: I tried to find out how the Germans accept Germlish. On one hand there are some linguists, critics and organizations, who claim Germlish is a corruption of both languages involved, still others claim Germlish is a way to a common language all over the world. Considering that English is a dominating language, I wanted to know how different fields of German language are influenced by it. I dealt with the word-formation of the language of German youth, economics language and computer language. The word-formational aspects are presented in the theoretical part and in empirical part the anglicisms I took from several German newspapers and magazines are analyzed. Skozi zgodovino je na razvoj nemškega jezika vplivalo veliko drugih jezikov. Danes zato nemški jezik posledično vsebuje precej besed iz latinščine, francoščine, italijanščine in, kar me v mojem diplomskem delu tudi zanima, iz angleščine. Nekatere besede so del nemškega besedišča že desetletja in so se v tem dolgem obdobju že prilagodile nemški izgovarjavi ter pisavi − to so izposojenke. Spet druge besede so obdržale svojo prvotno obliko in izgovarjavo − te besede so ostale tujke. Kar pa je danes zanimivo, je izraz germlish. To je kombinacija angleškega in nemškega jezika, ki jo uporabljajo govorci slednjega, najsi so to tujci, ki se trudijo govoriti nemško, ali Nemci, ki pretirano uporabljajo angleške izraze. V diplomskem delu me je zanimala slednja različica: želela sem ugotoviti, kako Nemci sprejemajo germlish. Na eni strani so tu posamezni lingvisti, kritiki in organizacije, ki nasprotujejo takšnemu kvarjenju nemščine, na drugi strani pa so ljudje, ki vidijo germlish kot morebitni svetovni jezik. Zanimalo me je, v kolikšni meri se anglicizmi vrivajo v nemški jezik in če zares ne gre brez njih, kot se to zdi na prvi pogled. Glede na to, da je angleščina prevladujoč jezik v svetu, so anglicizmi prisotni v vseh evropskih jezikih in tako tudi v nemščini. Natančneje pa me je zanimalo, v kolikšni meri se pojavljajo na različnih področjih nemškega jezika. V teoretičnem delu sem obravnavala pojav germlisha in anglicizmov v nemškem jeziku z vidika besedotvorja. V empiričnem delu pa sem si izbrala nekaj nemških časopisnih člankov s področja gospodarstva, računalništva in s področja jezika mladostnikov, v njih poiskala vse anglicizme in jih analizirala na podlagi tega, po kakšnem besedotvornem principu so nastali.

On the Anglicisms in the German language: advantages and disadvantages The temporary adoption and adaptation of words from other languages into a given language is part of the vitality of all language development. Foreign language influences are primarily responsible for this development. The occurrence of English linguistic elements in the German language is one of the above-mentioned tendency, which is referred to as Anglicisms. This paper focuses on the on the Anglicisms in the German language trying to shed light on its advantages and disadvantages.

From the psycholinguistic point of view, the use of English by non-natives in Europe poses an interesting contradiction, especially for the younger generation. On the one side, it is a non-preferred choice: Speakers have a natural tendency to avoid cross-group intelligibility, and are thus not keen in using a language that increases the amount of shared information, such as English. On the other side, English carries a specific system of values that are psychologically appealing to the younger generation, since it identifies with what speakers see in the media. As such, the new generations of Europeans experience an internal turmoil where the two tendencies, for and against English as a lingua franca, interact. One of the consequences of this particular situation is the use of English terms in local languages (so-called anglicism), a phenomenon rather common across Europe. Using the European situation as an example, this paper discusses the cognitive factors that drive the existence of (so many different) languages, as well as the factors that lead, in the opposite direction, to the use of a lingua franca among speakers.

This paper studies English loanwords in two Russian translations of J. D. Salinger’s novel The Catcher in the Rye, and takes language borrowing as a starting point to explore the influence of social and personal ideology on translation. The aim is to show the interrelation between the influences that translators, their socio-cultural context and the dominant translation norms exert on a given translation. The total number of English loan words (Anglicisms) is expected to reflect the changes in the Russian lexion, and is therefore expected to be significantly higher in the more recent, contemporary translation. Salinger’s novel uses youth slang, and today’s Russian youth slang is characterized by a onsiderable influx of Anglicisms. The two translations are therefore also expected to differ in the number of English loanwords belonging to youth slang. Lastly, on the basis of the previous two hypotheses, the more recent translation is expected to cointain more Anglicisms which belong, according to Martin Haspelmath’s classification, to the group of core borrowings, while the older translation is expected to contain more cultural borrowings. These hypotheses are tested by analysing the English loanwords in the two translations, and the results are interpreted within the theoretical framework of descriptive translation studies. В данной дипломной работе анализируются английские имствования в двух переводах романа Джерома Дэвида Сэлинджера The Catcher in the Rye: Над пропастью во ржи Риты Райт-Ковалевой периода Хрущевской оттепели и Ловец над хлебным полем Макса Немцова, впервые опубликованном в 2008 г. Целью данной работы является попытка указать, возможно ли с помощью англицизмов исследовать влияние общественной и личной идеологий на перевод, т.е. вляются ли (и, если да, каким способом) английские заимствования казателями взаимодействия влияний, которые переводчики, бщественно-культурный контекст переводов и доминирующие переводческие нормы оказывают на определенный перевод. Что касается англицизмов, ожидается, что их общее количество в переводах будет отражать изменения в русской лексике, так как роман Сэлинджера использует молдежный сленг. На основе этого предположения сформулированы гипотезы. Согласно первой гипотезе данного исследования, число англицизмов в переводе Немцова должно быть значительно выше, чем в переводе Райт-Ковалевой, поскольку сегодняшний русский молодежный сленг охарактеризован значительным притоком слов английского происхождения. Следовательно, нами анализируемые два перевода также должны отличатся в числе англицизмов, принадлежащих регистру молодежного сленга. На основе предыдущих двух гипотез, предполагается, что перевод Немцова содержит больше английских заимствований, которые, согласно классификации Мартина аспельмата, принадлежат группе базовых заимствований (англ. core borrowings), а перевод Райт-Ковалевой содержит больше англицизмов из группы культурных заимствований (англ. cultural borrowings). Эти три гипотезы проверены на основе англицизмов, собранных из нами анализируемых переводов. В конце мы бъяснили результаты данного исследования на основе парадигмы ескриптивного переводоведения. Чтобы наша интерпретация результатов привела к правильному выводу, данная дипломная работа начинается с краткого обзора истории языкового аимствования из английского в русский язык, затем описывается отношение к англицизмам в современном русском обществе, и анализируются признаки современного русского молодежного сленга. Далее, внимание уделяется языковым особенностям романа Сэлинджера в подлиннике и тому, как из-за них эту книгу в США воспринимали по-разному после публикации: одни хвалили ее, а другие остро критиковали из-за ненормативной лексики. После краткого изложения 3 работ, занимающихся разновременными переводами романа Сэлинджера на определенный язык, данная работа сосредоточивается на переводы Райт-Ковалевой и Немцова и их общественно-исторические контексты, языковые особенности и критические приемы. Перевод Райт-Ковалевой в большей мере рассматривается в рамках советской цензуры и адаптации оригинального текста согласно доминирующей идеологии (включая язык романа и его интерпретацию). На основе изучения отзывов и комментариев про современный перевод Немцова, данная работа пришла к выводу, что некоторые из старых переводческих норм (особенно те, которые касаются выбора текста для перевода) все еще являются действующими среди русских литературных профессионалов и русских читателей. Мы считаем, что цель перевода Немцова – бросить вызов каноническому переводу Райт-Ковалевой, потому что Немцов oтдает предпочтение исконно русскому сленгу (Райт-Ковалева ейтрализовала сленговую лексику в своем переводе) и на самом деле использует достаточно малое количество англицизмов (что противоречит характеристикам современного русского молодежного сленга). Факт, что перевод Немцова плохо приняли критики и читатели, мы здесь считаем указанием на то, что нормы, ставящие на почетное место канонические советские переводы и «запрещающие» новые перепереводы, все еще оказывают значительное влияние в российской литературной сфере. Надо отметить, что таким способом не только литературные профессионалы, но и читатели, участвуют в репродукции этих доминирующих норм. Наша интерпретация результатов исследования осуществлена в рамках теоретической базы дескриптивного переводоведения, особенно на основе работ Гидеона Тури и Андре Лефевра. Несмотря на то, что нужно намного шире исследование, чтобы прийти к окончательному выводу о нормах по перепереводам в современной России, наша работа указывает на то, что какой-то элемент идеологии (личной идеологии переводчика или общественной идеологии, связанной с совокупной системой переводческих норм), всегда играет определенную роль в процессе осуществления перевода.

Romanian experienced, after the fall of communism, to a greater extent as compared to the period before 1989, the phenomenon of linguistic globalization manifested by borrowing words belonging to both British and American English. In the course of the two decades elapsed, many of these loanwords that rightly came into use out of an objective need to express new notions, entered dictionaries, and were integrated in the lexicon. Others are unjustifi ably used. The paper brings into discussion the issue of luxury loans of English origin in Romanian lexicon., Rumunjski je nakon pada komunizma 1989. godine, u većoj mjeri nego prije toga, doživio fenomen jezične globalizacije koji se manifestira posuđivanjem riječi iz britanskoga i američkoga engleskoga. Tijekom zadnjih dvaju desetljeća mnoge su takve posuđenice ušle u rječnike i postale integralnim dijelom leksika, a da nije postojala objektivna potreba za njihovim uvođenjem jer ne izražavaju nove pojmove. Neke se također neopravadano koriste. Ovaj se rad bavi pitanjem luksuznih posuđenica engleskoga podrijetla u rumunjskom jeziku.
