Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with the issues of lexical-and-semantic standards, in particular those concerning loan-words but with a special emphasis on anglicisms, that can be found in the current usages published in the 1990s. The anglicisms, taken from Croatian language guides, are listed first. Then the principles of regularity, used by the authors in suggesting their Croatian equivalents, are analysed. There is a question - whether the authors were too puristic, i. e. how much are the suggested equivalents acceptable and how much are they accepted?
