Aspects of Anglicisms in the Romanian Economic Language
Aspects of Anglicisms in the Romanian Economic Language

Summary/Abstract: In the present article we are going to present several approaches of the term “anglicism” belonging to both Romanian and foreign linguists. Our approach to this term is a broad one. First, we will focus on the three main assimilation degrees of anglicisms in the Romanian language system. Further on, we will focus on another aspect directly linked to the assimilation phenomenon and that is the frequency of anglicisms in the Romanian economic language. The final part of our article makes a brief analysis of the presence of anglicisms in both general and specialized dictionaries. Although dictionaries should clarify even partially the meaning and the contextual behaviour of at least the most frequent economic anglicisms in Romanian, there are some examples that prove the contrary. The theoretical part of our article is supported by a wide range of illustrations from the Romanian written and spoken press, especially examples belonging to the Romanian economic language. Our collection of quotes was initiated in 2007 and has continued until 2013.
