Anglicisms in Croatian political discourse

This work aims to show the orthographic and semantic level of adaptation of Anglicisms in Croatian political discourse. The work is based on the theory of Rudolf Filipović, the founder of Contact Linguistics in Croatia, whose methodology is elaborated thoroughly. The corpus (32 words) is found in the following newspapers: Index, Nacional, Večernji list and Jutarnji list with its political portal Globus, throughout 2016, 2017 and 2018. The orthography of an Anglicism is formed according to: (a) the orthography of the model, (b) the pronunciation of the model, (c) the combination of model’s orthography and pronunciation and (d) the influence of an intermediary language. On the semantic level, there are three degrees of adaptation: 1st degree - zero extension, 2nd degree - restriction of meaning: (a) in number of meanings, (b) in semantic field and 3rd degree – expansion of meaning: (a) in number of meanings, (b) in semantic field.
