Description
Echoes of English, also known as Anglicisms, are now heard all over the world. They encompass a wide range of linguistic phenomena, all of which are discussed in this book. Against a backdrop of corpus-based studies of Anglicisms in Danish, the present English influence in Scandinavia is compared with that regarding Afrikaans in South Africa.
