Verbal Anglicisms in German

Vesna Muhvić-Dimanovski ; Zavod za lingvistiku Filozofskog fakulteta, Zagreb

Abstract

Verbal Anglicisms are a rather interesting category among loan words and can be discussed from different points of view. While being integrated into the native system they have to adapt according to several rules imposed by the native verbal structure and these rules naturally differ from one language to another. This paper attempts to show some of the specific characteristics of verbal Anglicisms in German and, when possible, compare them to the ones in Croatian. On the basis of a corpus of some 120 verbal Anglicisms we have investigated the way in which they form the infinitive, fit into the German system of weak and strong verbs, build the perfect tense and form phrasal and complex verbs
