Conclusion: Features of Borrowing from English in 12 Languages --Bibliography --IndexThis volume accounts for the motives for contemporary lexical borrowing from English, using a comparative approach and a broad cross-cultural perspective. It investigates the processes involved in the penetration of English vocabulary into new environments and the extent of their integration into twelve languages representing several language families, including Icelandic, Dutch, French, Russian, Hungarian, Hebrew, Arabic, Amharic, Persian, Japanese, Taiwan Chinese, and several languages spoken in southern India. Some of these languages are studied here in the context of borrowing for the first time ever. All in all, this volume suggests that the English lexical 'invasion', as it is often referred to, is a natural and inevitable process. It is driven by psycholinguistic, sociolinguistic, and socio-historical factors, of which the primary determinants of variability are associated with ethnic and linguistic diversity.Multilingual Matters, No. 140English languageInfluence on foreign languagesLanguage and languagesForeign elementsEnglish languageGlobalizationElectronic books.English languageInfluence on foreign languages.Language and languagesForeign elements.English languageGlobalization.420.9Rosenhouse J1043129Kowner Rotem876675MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910454055603321Globally speaking2467877UNINA
