La influencia de la lengua inglesa en la crónica social del siglo XIX
Linguistica Vol. XV/2014/1-2, pp. 251-270
Abstract: The press is a reflection of the reality of an era, its society, customs, interests and anything
that conveys knowledge of the events happening. This paper aims to examine
the Anglicisms related to the social news included in the Spanish press published
between the mid 18th century and 19th century. These voices were timidly entering
the Spanish newspapers in order to describe the entertainment and the parties high
society attended. The Anglicisms will be analyzed in order to determine whether
they have lingered into the Spanish language and whether they have been admitted
in the different editions of the Royal Spanish Academy Dictionary.
