Linguistic Borrowings from English in Spanish Language

Abstract

Abstract: This study is devoted to the analysis of the concept of linguistic borrowing in Spanish. The main purpose of the work is to determine the semantic areas in which Anglicism is most used, that is, borrowings from the English language, respectively. Within the framework of this study, the following goals are set: to define the term “borrowing”; to identify the reasons for the need for borrowings; to classify lexical borrowings according to the degree of their adaptation to the host language; to give a comparative characteristic of the use of Anglicism in Spanish.
