ANGLICISMS IN SPORTS TERMINOLOGY IN CROATIAN LANGUAGE

Širenjem utjecaja engleskog jezika, najviše putem medija, ali i uslijed napretka tehnoloških znanosti, uočava se potreba za uvođenjem novih riječi i izraza u hrvatski jezik vezanih za sportsku terminologiju. Namjera ovog rada je objasniti načine usvajanja anglicizama s obzirom na oblik i stupanj prilagodbe, kao i razina njihove adaptacije u hrvatski jezik s naglaskom na riječi i izraze korištene u sportu. Obrađeni uzorak bazira se na 6 članaka s internetskih portala hrvatskih novina s područja sporta. Objašnjava se pojam anglicizma, načini jezičnog posuđivanja i adaptacija anglicizama u hrvatskom jeziku na ortografskoj, fonološkoj i morfološkoj razini. Na osnovi rezultata istraživanja donose se zaključci o učestalosti i upotrebi upotrebe anglicizama u sportskoj terminologiji.
