Title of the bachelor thesis: Romance Influence on the English Wordstock Key words: History of English, borrowing, loan word, lexicalization, language acquisition, second language, language interference. Abstract The bachelor thesis Romance Influence on the English Wordstock is concerned with the Romance impacts on English, which is most noticeable in its wordstock, and simultaneously it tries to find out what the awareness of learners of English of these influences is. The practical part is based on research in the form of a questionnaire which was distributed among English students of the Faculty of Education, Charles University in Prague and which consists of four exercises where various Romance specifics can be found. The research revealed that students do not have a particular cognizance of Romance influence but it showed that the longer the students study English, the fewer problems they have with the words coming from Romance languages. It also studied whether students who know the French or Latin language have an advantage when acquiring the English vocabulary. The result affirms that these people may profit from their knowledge when learning English expressions similar to the French ones but they should already be confident in the language, otherwise the superficial knowledge of it can...

The Pronunciation of the Borrowed Words in the French Economic Terminology
HÁJKOVÁ, Aneta
The bachelor thesis is concerned with the pronunciation of loan words from English in contemporary French economic terminology. The principal aim of this thesis is to describe theoretically and analyse phonetic modifications of Anglicisms. These modifications are caused by the process of borrowing. The thesis consists of six chapters and is divided into theoretical part and practical part. The theoretical part was compiled on the basis of technical sources and is concerned with the definition of the loan word and the classification of these loan words. This part also mentions the internationalisms and Anglicisms. In another chapter, the thesis describes general principles of the process of borrowing, trends in borrowing and the most frequent field of borrowing. The theoretical part also focuses on the question of phonetic adaptations of loan words. The practical part pursues the composition of the corpus of Anglicisms used in contemporary economic terminology. This corpus is subsequently analysed from the point of view of the phonetic modifications. The analysis of Anglicisms was accomplished using interviews with native speakers. The results of the analysis are described in the last chapter.

ORSÁGOVÁ, Jana

The thesis is especially concentrating on last sixty years when the influence of the English language is notably growing in the Italian language. The work is divided into two main parts. The first part is theoretical and concerns the division of the loan word and the explanation of the word ?Anglicism? and gives insight into historical background that refer to this term. The second part concerns own research in which two samples from the same period are analyzed but they are from different years, first is from 2010 and second is from one year later. The extracted samples are researched according to the various criteria and compared if they have something in common. I will dedicate to the Anglicism from last sixty years thoroughly. The aim of this thesis is to confirm the real presence of the Anglicism in the Italian press, to show the permanent influx of new Anglicism and the popularity of their usage in the comparison with the Italian equivalents.
