This research paper will analyze the Anglicisms in headlines of some online media outlets in Albanian in the aspect of their usage. The impact of linguistic and media globalism on the information and education of news readers will be the basis of the paper when it comes mainly to the impact of online media outlets, which are very popular and easily accessible to each user. While analyzing the Anglicisms, three online media outlets in three regions with Albanian population have been selected with a particular focus: http://www.balkanweb.com/live/#gsc.tab=0 from Albania; http://www.indeksonline.net from Kosovo; and http://www.portalb.mk/ from North Macedonia, while not being limited to only these media outlets, in the general aspect of the use of Anglicisms. During the theoretical and practical explication of the paper, after choosing the research questions, the authors have endeavored to find proven answers on why the use of Anglicisms in online media outlets is in Albanian so desirable and necessary, and in this particular case, in their news titles that have much more readers and impact to all the readers. Furthermore, the authors have sought to give explanations as to whether the Albanian language can substitute all the Anglicism used in online media with its original words and whether Albanian is joining other minor languages when it comes to the great influence of English in the processes of globalization and North-Atlantic integration, and so on. Furthermore, in the final part of the paper, the authors will lay out other results of the findings of this paper, in relation to media and language, to carry out a general scientific analysis in general in the field of communication in online media outlets in Albanian.

“…All these developments have been well documented in their full historical, cultural and linguistic complexity in numerous studies (Eichinger, 2014; Göttert, 2013; Mair, 2018; Trabant, 2000). The public debate on English, especially in outlets with mass appeal, unfortunately lags behind because of a fixation on the relatively narrow topic of Anglicisms, lexical borrowings from English into German (Carstensen & Busse, 2011; Görlach, 2001, 2002; Onysko, 2020; Spitzmüller, 2005).…”

English in Germany as a foreign language and as a lingua franca

The massive expansion of English in Germany over the past few decades has not challenged a robustly exonormative orientation, which still by and large recognises standardised British and American English as the most authentic and prestigious representations of the language. Attitudes to the use of English in the national context are diverse, ranging from enthusiastic embracement via grudging acceptance to active resistance. This diversity of opinion reflects the fact that English is currently transitioning from a foreign language (EFL) to a lingua franca (ELF). On the national scale, ELF use is promoted in business, academia and, more generally, among young and well‐educated Germans with an international orientation, but deeply resented by sectors of society. This paper argues that English (in its lingua franca function) has become the only language other than German that has open prestige. The task ahead will be to develop strategies of intelligent multilingualism that will help to ‘domesticate’ English in the national sociolinguistic context.

“…The interest in English words in European languages is evidenced by a number of other scientific and professional papers, some of which are based on the analysis of collected texts or corpora from a particular domain (Čepon, 2017; Furiassi & Hofland, 2007; Mykytka, 2017; Zenner et al., 2012). While the aforementioned papers focus on corpus approaches to the collection and analysis of English words, some researchers (Görlach, 2001) resorted to non‐corpus methods and sources such as questionnaires, personal interviews, and so on in their collection and analysis of English words in European languages. As English words are commonly found in the media, research naturally focuses on this register (Alvarez‐Mellado, 2020; Boranijašević, 2018; Runjić‐Stoilova & Pandža, 2010; Šabec, 2005).…”

In the melting pot of web‐crawled texts: The challenges of extracting English words from Croatian corpora

The focus of this paper are English words and phrases used in Croatian which, unlike loanwords, have not undergone major adaptations at the orthographic, phonetic, or other levels apart from being influenced by the inflectional system of the recipient language. A list of English words in Croatian corpora was compiled using automatic algorithm extraction, corpus query language in Sketch Engine, and manual word list evaluation with the end goal of publishing the first comprehensive online database of English words in Croatian. The ENGRI corpus of Croatian was created by web crawling procedure and used together with the existing Croatian hrWaC 2.2 RFTagger corpus to produce a list of English words and phrases. In this paper, word list compilation issues are discussed in relation to both general issues encountered in the study of interlingual lexical types (such as false cognates, antonomasia, and polysemy) as well as Croatian‐specific language properties such as its inflectional system and diacritical marks. In conclusion, we propose that manual evaluation is an indispensable method and a necessary complement to computational linguistic tools in the creation of word lists and databases of foreign words in other languages.
