- Description
- In the field of anglicism research, at least according to the number of works that are of a heuristic or descriptive nature, it appears that we have progressed through the fundamental stages of understanding how anglicisms impact German. The average number of anglicisms in the language has been established, with various sources claiming that between 0.6% and 5% of the German lexicon is of English origin. This is based on analyses of dictionaries (e.g. Busse 1993; Körner 2004), the print media (e.g. Langer 1996; Plümer 2000; Onysko 2007; Yang 1990), spoken corpora (Glahn 2002; Hunt 2019) and selections of various printed texts (Eisenberg 2013). These studies, among others, also describe the degree of morpho-syntactical and phonological integration into German, often using descriptive statistics to indicate the impact of anglicisms in German. Others (e.g. Augustyn 2006; Clyne 1995; Glahn 2002; Schäfer 2002; Steffens 2003) make reference to the semantic fields to which anglicisms belong. These can be broadly categorised as technical terminology and leisure terminology. Hunt (2019) also identified education, teaching and learning as an additional category in his analysis of the Deutsch Heute ‘German Today’ corpus. However, these studies classified each anglicism into broad groups based on their lexical meaning without analysing them in situational context.
