As society goes bigger, and more complex, so does the need for communication in

its various forms. The reason behind the English language being called a world
language is its plethora of speakers.

The English language has had a remarkable history. When we first catch sight of it in
historical records, it is the speech of some none-too-civilized tribes on the continent of
Europe along the North Sea. Of course, it had a still earlier history, going back perhaps
to somewhere in Eastern Europe or Western Asia.

It is widely dispersed around the world because of the influence of the British Empire in
the 18th century and of the United States since the mid-20th century. English has
become the leading language of international discourse. Also, it has become a lingua
franca in many regions. Today, English is the third most widely spoken language in the
world.

Globalization in business, politics and other aspects of our everyday life is viewed by
many as an inevitable reality. The English language has undoubtedly benefited
significantly from the new era, in gradually penetrating into other cultures in many
fields.

Over the course of human history, thousands of languages have developed from what
was once a much smaller number. The main fields in which a language will continuously
develop are economic, political and technological. New technologies, industries, products
and experiences simply require new word.

In his book, David Garddol said that those who speak English as a foreign language
determine its world future what a powerful state=;;ment!

Speaking the lingua franca of the world makes it possible to communicate with people all
over the world and from many different cultures.

Some European languages are heavily influenced by an influx of English vocabulary (mostly
German, but also French). This is especially true for the informal spoken variety, where it is
quite "trendy" to use English words.

The fact that a nations language is a living organism has become a common place. And it
would be a pity not to be so. If we do not accept this reality, we admit that a language does
not evolve; still neologisms are irrefutable evidence that any language is alive. How far can
this trend be accepted? It is a good subject for reflection for everybody, not only for
specialists. The pessimists would say, Up to torturing the language! In the name of
globalization!

The truth is that English has spread across the world relatively fast due to the British and
especially American economy and the fast-growing developments in technology, to mention
just two of the most important causes. Today about eighty percent of the data stored in the
worlds computers is in English. The entertainment industry has a word to say in this, too.
Many people are familiar with English because of Hollywood and pop music. At least five out
of ten songs in the pop charts in most countries at any given time are sung in English.

This analysis is motivated by the significant increase of the English influence in Romanian
mass media terminology, in the general context of the "invasion" of Anglicisms.

The starting point in analyzing the influence of English in the Romanian mass media space is
that this influence is not only specific to Romania but is resumed in many countries in the
world. The massive loan of Anglo-American terms was manifested after the Second World
War in most European languages and not only. We are talking about a phenomenon that can
be explained mainly by the progress of certain fields of technology.

Many magazines or newspapers appeal to these widespread Anglicisms, without shirking the
slightest attempt to replace these loans with purely Romanian equivalents, as they want to
attract a lot of young public attention or give the impression of modernity. Depending on the
purpose in which they are used, the amount of information they bring, or the form they have
(raw or phraseological), the examples are relevant to that.

ANALIZA VINE AICI, N-AM COPIAT-O

Researching the level of adaptation of English words in Romanian according to the linguistic
norms, I noticed that the general tendency of the current literary language is to keep the loans
in English in a form as close as possible to the one in the source language.

Undoubtedly, the English language is now the language of the world. We stumble across it in
every aspect of our lives. Society has embraced it as artistic, intelligent and cool (n.n.
jargon for interesting, trendy, desirable), making it an essential element of communication.

The future of communication is a budding flower, with English words as its petals. It would
be folly to assume that languages will stay at the point where they at now. The future of the
globe as an entire community, however, rests on the fluid transformation to come. Everyone
will benefit from the glorious bloom.
