Hardback

Description

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.
