Studienarbeit aus dem Jahr 2012 im Fachbereich Anglistik - Linguistik, Note: 1,7, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt-Universität Greifswald (Anglistik), Veranstaltung: Lexicology, Sprache: Deutsch, Abstract: [...] Language contact, however, is a normal phenomenon and "as a historical fact has beenacknowledged since antiquity, but not, however, as a phenomenon worthy of study [ ... ] Butonly in the last decades of the nineteenth century did questions of language contact becomean area of scientific interest (Oksaar 1996; If.)" (Svetlana, 20). Most of the older studiesfocus on the synchronic aspects whereas newer studies also take a diachronic view intoconsideration (cf. Burmasova, 10). Furthermore, morphological and orthographic aspectsplay a role in addition of the frequency of use (cf. Burmasova, 11).Nowadays, there are a lot of critical voices which reject the use of anglicisms because theyfear a loss of German language heritage. There are even some initiatives providingequivalents for every English word. The Verein deutscher Sprache (Association of theGerman Language), for instance, emphasizes the importance of German equivalents Thus,the question is whether it is possible to find equivalents for every anglicisms and if thoseequivalents are suitable. Moreover, the question arises if anglicisms are on the rise to anextend where they may threaten the German language.In this term paper, I want to take a closer look on the use of anglicisms in the press in orderto find an answer to these questions. In the course of this, I want to refer to studies byNICOLE PLUMER, ALEXANDRA ZURN and CHRISTIANE GOTZELER. I also want to provide somesamples from Stern and Bild and present my own results. Before that, a definition of theterm anglicism will be given. Moreover, I want to take historical developments intoconsideration, including German reactions to certain changes. After that, a classification ofanglicisms will be provided in order to become aware of the different types. Furthermore, I want to present some linguistic changes connected to anglicisms. Lastly, I want to providesome considerations concerning the language of the press and present my own little studyin this field before I come to my conclusion.

Seminar paper from the year 2010 in the subject English Language and Literature Studies - Other, grade: 1,7, Ernst Moritz Arndt University of Greifswald (Anglistik), course: Discourse Analysis, language: English, abstract: [...] The discourse he (re)started, continued or resumed on ¿shaped public discussion and debate surrounding terrorism worldwide¿. '9/11' has become a term everybody understands ¿in its conventional sense, as a realm of creative expression¿ as Daniel J. Sherman and Terry Nardin point out in their book Terror, Culture, Politics: Rethinking 9/11. Also Shana Kushner and Amy Gershkoff say that '9/11' has become an ¿ideograph in the sense that the historical event represents an attack on the beliefs, values, attitudes and ¿way of life¿ within the United States¿. Not only in the English language '9/11' has become a ¿dictum¿ but in many others, too. In this term paper I want to take a closer look on the speech President Bush delivered on September 20, 2001 as State of the Union Address to a joint session of Congress. In my analysis I will go through the speech step by step in order to figure out the main points Bush is making. From there I want to continue with its effects and influence on the discourse about 'war on terror'. I am mainly referring to Norman Fairclough and his interpretations in Language and Globalization and also to KevinCoe et al. and their study No Shades of Gray. With the help of these publications I want to emphasize the impact and the aftermath of Bush's discourse as well in media as in society.
