  • "Review text: "Alexander Onysko has definitely succeeded in reaching his research objectives. He has written a book on the use of anglicisms and codeswitching in an influential news medium showing both the numerical impact of anglicims and their functions. He has also struck a proper balance between underlying theoretical concepts and their practical application. For these reasons his results are reliable. It is to be hoped that the book reaches a large audience in order to rationalise emotional debates on the 'detrimental impact' of English on present-day German. I can recommend this work wholeheartedly to anybody seriously interested in Anglo-German language contact. The book is an important contribution to the field and can serve as a reference tool for years to come and also as a point of departure for future studies."Ulrich Busse in: Anglia 2/2008 "The book contains a wealth of observation, based not only on a solid investigation of overall quantitative patterns but also many careful and often highly insightful analyses of individual tokens in context. While in large parts it confirms findings about lexical borrowing made in earlier research, it provides a valuable contribution to a deepened understanding of the mechanisms and patterns involved on a theoretical level."Lukas Pietsch in: Journal of Language Contact 1/2008 "In this stimulating book on anglicisms in the German press, Onysko has made an important contribution to the understanding of lexical borrowings in a language contact situation. His ability to analyze the anglicisms in question and provide plausible implications of these anglicisms on the German language is a strength of this book. An additional strength is the accessibility of the German-language text, through translation or paraphrase, to a non-German speaker."Tyler K. Anderson in: http://linguistlist.org/issues/19/19-299.html "Mit seiner umfangreichen, detaillierten quantitativen und qualitativen Untersuchung von Anglizismen liefe."
