Summary/Abstract: The contemporary Romanian society is characterised by extreme social, economic and technical dynamism that favours the borrowing of foreign words. As English is the foreign language most frequently learned and used by native Romanians, it is no wonder that many English words have entered the everyday Romanian language. The present article analyses the use of English loanwords in some Romanian online newspapers and magazines, and puts forward some concluding remarks.
