The influence of the English language on contemporary Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian languages: representation, types and functions of English in youth magazines

Rad se bavi se utjecajem engleskog jezika kao lingue france na suvremeni hrvatski, srpski i slovenski jezik, koji uslijed procesa globalizacije postaje sve intenzivnijim, a posebno se odražava na jezik pripadnika mlađih dobnih skupina. Prva, teorijska cjelina rada posvećena je temeljnim pojmovima iz područja kontaktne lingvistike vezanim za jezično posuđivanje te prikazu odnosa jezične politike (južnoslavenskih jezika) i jezičnog posuđivanja. Druga, istraživačka cjelina rada uključuje dva empirijska istraživanja: prvo istraživanje odnosi se na zastupljenost i obilježja anglizama u časopisima za mlade (hrvatski časopis OK!, slovenski časopis Cool i srpski časopis Hej!), dok se drugo odnosi na upotrebu tih anglizama među mladima, koja je ispitana putem ankete među izvornim govornicima hrvatskog jezika mlađe generacije. Istraživanjima prethodi opis obilježja jezika mladih te jezika časopisa namijenjenih adolescentima.This thesis is based on the influence of the English language as lingua franca on contemporary Croatian, Serbian and Slovenian. This influence is getting stronger because of the globalization processes and is strongly reflecting on language of younger population. First part of the thesis is a theoretical part that explains basic terms of contact linguistics, which are tightly connected with language borrowing, and is displaying relation between language politics of the Southslavic languages and language borrowing. Second part of the thesis includes two empirical researches: first research relates to representation and characteristics of anglicisms in youth magazines (Croatian magazine OK!, Slovenian magazine Cool and Serbian magazine Hej!), while second research relates to the use of anglicisms among young people. Polls are created for the second research in order to see how often anglicisms are used and known among the native Croatian speaking younger population. The research is preceded by a description of the characteristics of the language of young people and the language of magazines intended for adolescents
