Abstract
that have brought the classification of Anglicisms according to thematic fields into focus have shown that, in relation to various languages and varieties, sports is the area in which Anglicisms seem to appear most frequently (Seidel 2010, Andersen 2011). Considering Spanish, when introducing English names of sports, the two main choices are either to adopt/adapt these foreign names or to calque them into the recipient language. This paper aims to clarify which of these two options has been the most successful one and whether diatopic variation plays a part in this respect. To fulfil this goal, a series of equivalent pairs and their variants are looked up in CORPES XXI, and the statistics provided by this corpus in relation to geographical distribution are analysed. Results show that diatopic variation affects disparity in the frequency of use of the different forms of English ball sports names in Spanish.
期刊介绍：
It is a pleasure to be able to welcome you to web-based Moderna språk, the journal of English, French, German and Spanish languages, literatures and cultures! Moderna språk has been published every year since 1906, and it is thus one of the oldest journals of its kind in the world. Until 2008, Moderna språk came out in a printed version, but from 2009 it is published as a web-based journal on the Internet. Our aim is to publish all articles from 1906 and onwards electronically, by gradual stages. The articles in Moderna språk cover areas within linguistics, literature and culture and the main target group is language teachers and researchers at schools and universities worldwide. The publication is peer-reviewed.
