While there are plenty of studies on the impact English has exerted
on the German language, the reverse contact situation has been
relatively neglected. This monograph sets out to shed light on the
German influence on the English lexicon in the twentieth century.
It provides the first systematic appraisal of the semantic
integration and contextual usage of the words adopted from German
in the past few decades. The results presented in this study are
based on the evaluation of a comprehensive lexicographical corpus
of 1958 twentieth century German borrowings retrieved from the
Oxford English Dictionary Online. The present-day usage of the
borrowings is illustrated with linguistic documentary evidence
collected from a wide range of English language corpora.
