Abstract
The article is devoted to analysing the role of the English borrowings in the system of the modern German language. Two opposing viewpoints are compared: the first one, claiming to restrict the number of Anglicisms, and the second one, which considers borrowing as a positive phenomenon. The author emphasizes universal nature of linguistic purism, which is a response to the growing number of foreign borrowings in the recipient language. Irrelevance of administrative interference in the language development process is justified.
