PHONOLOGICAL VARIANTS IN THE DICTIONARY OF ANGLICISMS IN THE CROATIAN OR SERBIAN LANGUAGE

Rudolf Filipović ; Zagreb

Abstract

Phonological analysis of Anglicisms shows that an English model can develop into several forms which are called variants. In order to explain how and why this happens, the author examines how Anglicisms are formed in the Croatian or Serbian language and how a model (an English word) is developed into a replica (an Anglicism). A thorough analysis has shown that Anglicisms are formed in four ways: a) Anglicisms follow the orthography or the model; b) Anglicisms follow the pronunciation of the model; c) Anglicisms are formed partly according to the orthography and 'partly according to the pronunciation of the model; d) Anglicisms are formed under the influence of the intermediary language. In these four ways a great number of Anglicisms have been generated. In his analysis of variants the author follows the principles of transphonemization and classifies the variants into groups according to the way in which they were formed.
