Mjesto i funkcija anglicizama u savremenom bosanskom jeziku
Place and Function of Anglicisms in Modern Bosnian Language

Summary/Abstract: The anglicisms neologisms are a typical example of the conflict between two principles which try to be satisfied in the norm of standard language: the principle of stability and the principle of evolutioness. The standard language norm finds neologisms difficult to accept as equal units of the lexical system of a language, but there are reasons for their existance. Namely, these lexical items fulfill an expressive, stylistic and pragmatic function which the already existing lexemes cannot fulfill. Since neologisms enrich a language, the attitude towards anglicisms neologisms should be according to the facts: they should not be avoided, but neither unconditionally accepted, instead, the context and the functionality of every new lexeme that appears in the system of the already existing lexemes in the Bosnian language should be analysed.
