Abstract:

The paper develops the hypothetical premise that, generally speaking, English loanwords constitute modes of representing the 21st century’s linguistic intercultural exchanges. The case study refers to the main morphological and semantic changes that occur in the Romanian words of English origin. We have chosen examples from three different domains (fashion, economics and automobiles) in order to bring into light the phenomenon of interculturality at the level of loanwords.

Keywords:

globalization, English (loan)words, Romanian words, bilingualism, Anglicisms, contact, interculturality.
