The Use of Anglicisms in Various Thematic Fields: An Analysis Based on the Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual
Journal Title: Anglica. An International Journal of English Studies - Year 2017, Vol 26, Issue 2
Abstract
This piece of research presents an analysis of the use of anglicisms in the Spanish press at the beginning of the 21st century. Specifi cally, it concentrates on their distribution in texts belonging to diff erent thematic domains. Thus, the purpose of this study is to establish a ranking of specialised fi elds in terms of the frequency with which anglicisms are employed in them. In order to do so, the Corpus de Referencia del Español Actual (CREA), compiled by the Real Academia Española, is used as the source for texts, which supports the reliability and representativeness of the present work.
