Exploring the global impact of English, this book delves into Anglicisms and their linguistic manifestations across different cultures. It features corpus-based studies focusing on their prevalence in Danish while drawing comparisons to the influence of English on Afrikaans in South Africa. The analysis highlights the nuances of English's reach and its role in shaping modern languages, making it a significant resource for understanding contemporary linguistic trends.

The proceedings cover new perspectives in the field of lexicography, including both theoretical and practical topics, and new aspects of special and bilingual dictionaries. The volume also includes contributions dealing with phraseography, equivalence, valency, grammar, phonetics, neologisms, canting lexicography, and the techniques of computerized dictionary production.

Lexiographica. Series Maior features monographs and edited volumes on the topics of lexicography and meta-lexicography. Works from the broader domain of lexicology are also included, provided they strengthen the theoretical, methodological and empirical basis of lexicography and meta-lexicography. The almost 150 books published in the series since its founding in 1984 clearly reflect the main themes and developments of the field. The publications focus on aspects of lexicography such as micro- and macrostructure, typology, history of the discipline, and application-oriented lexicographical documentation.
