| Description: | This research on Anglicisms was carried out in the city of Guayaquil – Ecuador and was based on the data found in three types of newspapers, which we will call variables, collected from Monday October 12th, 2009 to Sunday October 18th, 2009 (twenty-one newspaper sets in total). The main instruments employed to work with this data were nineteen charts used to record, classify and analyze the anglicisms found in the above mentioned sources.Through this research, it was found out that the number of anglicisms used in these Ecuadorian newspaper samples (a national newspaper, a local newspaper, and a tabloid) was reasonably high, as expected by the author, although one of the general guidelines for this work had been to raise awareness of the unnecessary use of these foreign terms. Although there are existing translations in our language for such foreign terms, Ecuadorian newspapers prove a remarkable preference to use certain anglicisms over their Spanish equivalents, especially in fields such as: technology, fashion, entertainment and arts. Interestingly, in the present, many of these foreign terms are real, frequently used components of the Spanish language, whose inclusion in the Diccionario de la Lengua Española has been even accepted by the Real Academia Española itself. |
