The book offers a detailed account of English influence on German
based on a large scale corpus analysis of the newsmagazine 'Der
Spiegel'. The study is structured into three parts covering
fundamental questions and as of yet unsolved and disputed issues in
the domain of anglicism research and language contact. Part 1
discusses the terminological uncertainty in the field, puts forward
a model of the influence of English on German, and proposes a
principled classification of the term anglicism. Part 2 portrays
the numerical impact of anglicisms in an extensive corpus and draws
general conclusions about the overall quantitative influence of
English on German. Part 3 conclusively investigates the integration
of anglicisms in German across the various lexical and syntactic
paradigms. Particular focus is attributed to the salient
morphological features of gender, plural, genitive case, and to
verbal and adjectival inflection. Furthermore, word formational
processes are substantively analyzed including compounding,
derivation, and peripheral types of word formation. A functional
classification of written codeswitching concludes part 3, and the
book closes with a brief outlook on future challenges of anglicism
research. In its breadth and detailed manner of analysis, the study
sets the current standards of research in the field.
