Sažetak
Our analysis of the process of the adaptation of anglicisms on the semantic level shows that due to the innovative element - primary and secondary adaptation
- which we have built into the theory of contact linguikstics on all three levels, has two phases. The first phase is governed by the primary adaptation and the result is threefold: a) the meaning of the English model is transferred directly into the anglicism and this process is called zero semantic extension; b) the meaning
of the English model is restricted in number, i.e. one or two meanings of the English model are transferred into the anglicism in the receiving language, and the process is called the restriction in number: c) the meaning of the English model is restricted in its field and this is called the restriction of meaning in the field.
This whole process is classified as the transfer of meaning. The second phase is governed by the secondary adaptation which begins after the anglicism has already been completely integrated into the system of the receiving language. The meaning of the anglicism changes as it extends the number and the field of the meaning. The twofold change is realized as:
a) the extension of meaning in number which means that the meaning of the anglicism integrated into the system of the receiving language has been extended; b) the extension of meaning in a semantic field which means that the meaning or the anglicism integrated into the receiving language has been extended. This process is called adaptation of meaning. The results of the analysis prove that the application of primary and seccondary adaptation represents a new contribution to the theory of contact linguistics.
