Abstract

Language contacts have always been the result of historical and cultural contacts. German influence on the Croatian language has been going on for centuries. This paper shows the presence and use of loanwords taken from the German language with regard to the respective subject areas in specific volumes of the newspaper “Narodni list”, as well as adaptations of German loanwords on morphological and semantic levels. As a basis for the research of germanisms we used a weekly newspaper “Narodni list”, published in the period between 1955 and 2005. The results that we obtained show a great representation of germanisms in the selected years on the analyzed weekly newspaper.
