Summary/Abstract: The article presents a descriptive study upon the morphological adaptation of English-origin neologisms, selected from MDN (2008) – The Great Dictionary of Neologisms and DEX (2012) – The Explicative Dictionary of the Romanian Language, Letter E. The results of the study revealed the tendency to almost completely adapt English-origin words to the Romanian morphological and syntactical system, showing once more the fact that the Romanian language is capable of enriching itself without altering its inner structure, despite the so-called “threat” that English language seems to pose to the linguistic integrity of the Romanian language and its speakers, as well.
