RODRIGUEZ MEDINA, María Jesús. Anglicisms in the lexicon of sports activities of the Spanish gyms. Lexis [online]. 2014, vol.38, n.2, pp.401-427. ISSN 0254-9239.

The aim of this paper is to compile and analyse the most frequent anglicisms in the lexicon used in sports activities offered by Spanish gyms. This domain remains unexplored in the research of the phenomenon of anglicisms in the Spanish language, since the published literature has focused so far on the lexicon of other sports such as football (Fernández 1971; Alonso 1996; Rodríguez González 2012). We have studied a sample of 268 anglicisms taken from the brochures and websites of 15 gyms. Our analysis is not only quantitative but also describes different pragmatic functions of the anglicisms found in the data. This allows us to draw significant conclusions about the evolution of anglicisms as a sociolinguistic and cultural phenomenon in Spanish.

Palavras-chave : anglicisms; lexicon; pragmatics; sports.
