What is an "anglicism"?
An anglicism is a word, phrase, or linguistic feature borrowed from English into another language. Anglicisms often enter a language due to cultural, technological, or economic influence and can appear in various forms, such as vocabulary, grammar, or pronunciation. These borrowed elements may be adopted directly or adapted to fit the rules of the receiving language. While some people may view anglicisms as enriching, others may see them as a threat to the purity of the local language. Their use reflects the impact of English on global communication and cultural exchange.
