Summary/Abstract: The article presents a study of everyday operational communications in the maritime business in Croatian, and aims at determining, classifying and describing the process of linguistic borrowing and adaptation of English loan-words in Croatian. The corpus encompases a collection of texts transmitted exclusively by way of fax and telex. In addition to a brief analysis of this specific kind of discourse, the article highlights the specific features of borrowing technically-marked vocabulary from English. The adaptation of English loan-words is studied, in particular, on the phonological, morphological, and semantic level.
