Globalization and its implications on wor(l)d transformations are huge. The English language has at least a two-fold function in this process: direct (incidental) function as a medium of communication, and indirect (coincidental) function as a medium of transformations within the linguistic structures of borrowing languages. The influx of English lexemes is becoming more evident in both formal and informal contexts (replicas become more susceptible to models). In our previous research we suggested the widening of analysis of anglicisms–nominal syntagms, as a result of which new methodology of their classification and analysis was devised, i.e. a three-degree adaptation of nominal syntagms: zero, compromise, and complete transmorphemization. This article aims to shed more light on current anglicisms and their adaptation into Croatian at the morphological level within multiword expressions. Anglicisms are not anymore limited to simple and open-class words, but more and more complex words are formed with different English bound morphemes. There are also multiword expressions and phraseological units, both in their hybrid forms and calqued forms, parahrasal verbs, clippings, abbreviations, original English blendings and Croatian ones, made on the English model. Moreover, some recent examples of
