ROLE OF THE ENGLISH BORROWINGS IN THE MODERN GERMAN LANGUAGE
The article is devoted to analysing the role of the English borrowings in the system of the modern German language. Two opposing viewpoints are compared: the first one, claiming to restrict the number of Anglicisms, and the second one, which considers borrowing as a positive phenomenon. The author emphasizes universal nature of linguistic purism, which is a response to the growing number of foreign borrowings in the recipient language. Irrelevance of administrative interference in the language development process is justified.
