Abstract
English and Dutch are both spoken in South Africa in XVIII century and a new language emerges: Afrikaans, which is a mixture of Dutch and English, Malaysian, Portuguese and the tribal substrate. Only certain loans from Afrikaans will be analyzed: those registered in English from Dutch origin. I will focus on the historical frame where all this contribution of Afrikaans into English takes place and on the different semantic fields which these loans can be classified into. I’d like to draw conclusions about the most influential semantic field and about the degree of contact between Afrikaans and English, never to forget the Dutch start point of these words.
