Abstract:

Twenty-two scholars in sixteen European countries chart the English
invasion of their national languages over the last five decades. They
examine the particular groups of English words that have been adopted
and the ways in which their meanings have been modified and in some
cases transformed. They also consider the popular and political
reactions over Europe to the influx of anglicisms.
