Summary/Abstract: Anglicisms are lexemes borrowed from English language into another one. In our case, they are words or lexical structures that are still going to contribute to the enrichment of the Romanian lexis. There are voices that conclude that Anglicims are old-fashioned and that they are not into the actual trend. We are going to underline the fact that, generally speaking, Anglicisms are very useful into different domains, such as: sport, music, cinema, gastronomy, mass-media, legal language, advertising, informatics, fashion etc., but the accent on this paper is upon sporting domain and its relevance through different linguistic means: words, phrases, modalities of expression etc..
