Abstract
The spread of the English language across the globe is a result of the formation of various varieties of English, otherwise known as World Englishes. These varieties are modelled under the constant influence of a plethora of factors, including the historical, cultural, socio-economic and linguistic influences of the regions in which a particular variety of English is spoken. One of the factors that has left a noticeable mark on English is the Spanish language. Being the second most spoken language in the world with approximately 460 million speakers, it has had significant impact on the lexical varieties of English in regions where Spanish has a notable presence. Contrasting the growing number of Anglicisms in the contemporary Spanish lexicon, the reverse process is also in motion. Albeit comparatively smaller, the increasing presence of Spanish in international communication has resulted in a growing use of Hispanicisms in English. The language users’ socioeconomic milieu, exposure to mass media, use of information technology and favouriting foreignisms all affect the morphosyntactic, semantic and stylistic forms of these borrowings. The results of these influences are particularly notable in various fields of life, ranging from vocabulary regarding humanities and natural sciences to terms used in everyday life.
Abstract (croatian)
Raširenost engleskoga jezika diljem svijeta rezultat je formiranja različitih varijeteta engleskoga poznatih kao svjetski engleski. Ovi su varijeteti oblikovani pod stalnim utjecajem mnoštva čimbenika, uključujući povijesne, kulturne, socioekonomske i jezične utjecaje regija u kojima se govori određeni varijetet engleskog. Jedan od faktora koji je ostavio zamjetan trag na engleski je španjolski jezik. Budući da je drugi jezik na svijetu po broju govornika s približno 460 milijuna govornika, imao je značajan utjecaj na leksičke varijetete engleskog u regijama u kojima je španjolski značajno zastupljen. Nasuprot sve većem broju anglicizama u suvremenom španjolskom leksiku, u tijeku je i obrnuti proces. Iako razmjerno manja, rastuća prisutnost španjolskog u međunarodnoj komunikaciji rezultirala je rastućom upotrebom hispanizama u engleskom. Socioekonomski milje korisnika jezika, izloženost masovnim medijima, korištenje informacijske tehnologije i favoriziranje prilagođenica utječu na morfosintaktičke, semantičke i stilske oblike ovih posuđenica. Rezultati ovih utjecaja posebno su izraženi u raznim područjima života, od vokabulara humanističkih i prirodnih znanosti do pojmova koji se koriste u svakodnevnom životu.
