THE INFLUENCE OF ENGLISH ON ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS LANGUAGE IN ROMANIA
THE INFLUENCE OF ENGLISH ON ECONOMIC AND BUSINESS LANGUAGE IN ROMANIA

Summary/Abstract: Starting from the influence of English language, this paper is based on the research of Romanian economic terminology from the perspective of various uses of borrowings from English, which demonstrates the difficulties of adapting to the Romanian language system due to major differences between the two languages. Major transformations in social-economic and international organization imposed the development of modern disciplines such as: finance, statistics, management, marketing, business administration, whose languages are subordinated to the economic field. The compliance of the current Romanian economy with the international economy explains the various diversification and development of specializations in the field and causes many changes in economic language vocabulary, made mostly by borrowing from English, but also updating existing words in Romanian. The influence of English should not be regarded as a negative phenomenon, as long as its use is not exaggerated. The conclusion of the article is that with all the difficulties of adapting to the linguistic system of the Romanian language, English borrowings are a matter of linguistic creativity showing that language is changing constantly, enriching to meet new realities.
