Abstract:

The first dictionary of its kind to provide an exhaustive comparative
treatment of the influence of English on other European languages.
Covering sixteen selected languages from different language families,
entries consist of words which are recognizably English in form and
which appear in at least one of the languages tested. Entries are
comprised of a brief definition, followed by a summary paragraph
containing a wealth of historical and linguistic information. Many
entries are also accompanied by a grid summarizing the distribution of
the word across Europe.
