Essay from the year 2008 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Linguistics, grade: 2,3, University of Frankfurt (Main) (Institut für England- und Amerikastudien), course: Magisterprüfung, language: English, abstract: This essay was written as an elaboration for my final oral exam in winter term 2008/2009. It is supposed to give information about the importance of the lish language as a global language and the process of direct loaning as a result, the process of indirect loaning, pseudo and hybrid anglicisms, and aspects of direct and indirect loan coinage. It will also investigate on the prestige status of English and the loaning of sayings, phrases and idioms, and the role of the trend of internationalisation of languages like German or France. It will conclude with an attempt to approach the question whether English will make other es obsolete in the future.
