Abstract

The article attempts to reveal the influence of English on the lexical composition of 16 modern European languages. Being a co-author of the Usage Dictionary of Anglicisms in European languages, the author points out that the 4000 anglicisms that have found their place in the dictionary do not constitute a large number in the vocabulary of the given languages. She goes on to conclude that the impact of English is not so huge as expected by some linguists and hence, there is no need to worry.
