The use of anglicisms in German press

Abstract

In the paper The use of anglicisms in the German press using the inductive method suggests the influence of the English language on the German language, and the expansion of new words, whose origin and development is reflected throughout our time. More precisely, this paper aims to present the phenomenon of anglicisms as a concept, its implementation in practice, as well as the answer to the question of whether anglicisms are a threat or an enrichment. The influence of the English language, with certain advantages and disadvantages, has taken off quite a bit, so today there are a large number of societies and organizations that fight against its spread. On the other hand, there are numerous sites that contain dictionaries with anglicisms and that easily explain new expressions. Although anglicisms are represented in various domains, this paper focuses on the language of the German press, where its main task is to present the achieved results and indicate possible solutions. The research was conducted on specific examples taken from Der Spiegel, Focus and Die Bravo.
