The Influence of English on Italian: Lexical and Cultural Features - Language Contact and Bilingualism [LCB]
Virginia Pulcini
The volume explores the history of language contact between Italy and Anglophone countries and illustrates the phenomenon of lexical borrowing. Types of English-induced borrowings are presented on the basis of quantitative and qualitative information provided by Italian lexicographic sources and corpus-based evidence. Criteria of currency and frequency are discussed with reference to a multilingual project (GLAD – Global Anglicism Database), offering a contribution to loanword lexicography.
The book is addressed to scholars and non-experts interested in the input of English borrowings into Italian.
