The presence of English is undeniable in various areas of Spaniards’ daily lives, and the domain of leisure activities is not excluded of such a trend. This paper examines the presence of Anglicisms in sections: “Life and style”; “Culture, leisure and society” and “Sports” of the digital edition of the newspaper La Provincia (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria) during the period from 1st March to 31st May 2019. The use of Anglicisms has apparently been increased throughout the last decades, considering a similar previous analysis (LujánGarcía, 1999). The compilation of a corpus of 207 Anglicisms reveals that the section “Life and style”, which compiles news of various fields (fashion, beauty, people, pets, gastronomy) presents the highest percentage of Anglicisms (65.2%). In the second position, “Culture, leisure and society” contains a percentage of 21.7% of the compiled corpus, and this is followed by “Sports”, with 12.9% Anglicisms of the sample. In qualitative terms, some examples of particular uses of the examined Anglicisms are studied in context, considering the whole sentence where they occur, in addition to the analysis of the orthographic markers employed, which tend to be quite inconsistent. Eventually, the pragmatic functions of these Anglicisms are discussed: specialized language, referential, expressive and textual functions, which will be illustrated with examples excerpted from the corpus. Keywords: Anglicisms, digital newspaper, life and style, leisure and sports neologisms.
英语在西班牙人日常生活的各个领域是不可否认的,休闲活动领域也不排除这种趋势。本文考察了英语在“生活与风格”部分的存在;2019年3月1日至5月31日期间,La Provincia (Las Palmas de Gran Canaria)报纸电子版的“文化、休闲和社会”和“体育”。考虑到之前的类似分析(LujánGarcía, 1999),在过去的几十年里,英语的使用显然有所增加。对207个英语语料库的汇编显示,“生活与风格”部分的英语比例最高(65.2%),该部分汇编了各个领域的新闻(时尚、美容、人物、宠物、美食)。排在第二位的是“文化、休闲和社会”,占汇编语料库的21.7%,其次是“体育”,占样本中英语的12.9%。在定性方面,除了分析所使用的正字法标记外,还在上下文中研究了所检查的英语的一些特定用法的例子,考虑到它们出现的整个句子,这往往是相当不一致的。最后讨论了这些英语词汇的语用功能:专业语言功能、指称功能、表达功能和语篇功能,并通过语料库中的例句进行了说明。关键词:英语,数字报纸,生活与风格,休闲体育新词。
