This collection explores the global impact of English through fact-based and contrastive analyses of different types of Anglicisms across a wide range of languages.This volume showcases the ways in which contact-induced language change operates across several different languages simultaneously. This approach allows for an examination of similarities and differences in the adaptation processes of English models in languages with differing phonetic, morphological, syntactic, and writing systems. Drawing on data from the Global Anglicism Database (GLAD), the first multilingual repository featuring lexical and phraseological Anglicisms, chapters look not only at visible Anglicisms, such as augmented reality or easy listening, which reflect their English origin, but also at invisible Anglicisms, cases in which English expressions are translated verbatim and cases when words in a recipient language change their meaning due to English influence. This volume offers a multi-layered perspective on how Anglicisms develop and blend into different languages, and readers are presented with a nuanced understanding of contact-induced language change.This book will appeal to students and scholars interested in language contact, World Englishes, language policy and planning, bilingualism, and lexicography.
