A Dictionary of European Anglicisms
Manfred Görlach was Professor of English and Chair of Linguistics and Medieval Studies at the University of Cologne until his retirement in 2003. His many books include English in Nineteenth-Century England : An Introduction (CUP, 1999); More Englishes: New Studies in Varieties of English 1988-1994 (John Benjamins, 1995); and Introduction to Early Modern English (CUP, revised edition 1991).
Review from previous edition "This dictionary, meticulously
recording the forms, meanings, usage and history of individual
Anglicisms in various European languages offers a wealth of
information and is a valuable tool for further research on the
subject. It is an important resource for comparative analysis and
the study of linguistic variation and change... The dictionary will
certainly be of interest to linguists and all those who are
interested in
the new development trends in European languages resulting from
their extensive contact with English." Linguist List
`The trilogy is a triumph of conception, design and
implementation.'
Times Higher Education Supplement
`The volumes edited by Manfred Görlach form a homogeneous whole and
represent the most complete, systematic, and up-to-date study of
the impact of English on Europe. Their importance can hardly be
overestimated: lexicographers, linguists and students interested in
linguistic variation and change, in comparative linguistic studies,
and translators will find in them an invaluable aid for their work.
Manfred Gölach and his team deserve our warmest
congratulations.'
