Lexical-Grammatical Pragmatic Indicators

Proposing a pragmatic distinction for lexical anglicisms
2012While certain Anglicisms (e.g. Event and Kids in German) typically appear as marked lexical choices, such effects are absent in other Anglicisms (e.g. Film and PC in German). In order to investigate these different pragmatic interpretations, we consider the criterion of whether an Anglicism exists alongside a semantically-close equivalent in the ...
