Les anglicismes en français et en tchèque contemporains : le cas des formes en –ing

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the neological borrowings from English that occur in contemporary French and Czech. Special emphasis is placed on neological borrowings with the -ing suffix. Considering the lingua franca status of anglo-american for several decades, anglicisms diffuse in all languages, and we would like to compare specifically the processes at stake for the -ing formations. After a quantitative analysis of the respective diffusion and productivity in both languages, we focus on a few specific words (phishing, géochaching, sharing, washing), attested in both languages, and compare their integration from several perspectives (phonological, orthographical, morphological, semantic and local variants).
