Summary/Abstract: This article is a succinct approach to the importance of the Romanian language and the diversity of changes it suffered throughout the process of Anglicization. We have also highlighted the fact that the influence of the English language has led and still leads to the vocabulary internationalization that enriches the common language, as well as the specialized language, and facilitates the communication between professionals of various fields of activity. This way, the number of neologisms in contemporary Romanian language has increased because all the words borrowed from English are neologisms. This massive borrowing of Anglo-American terms has manifested the most during the recent decades and has led to major changes in both the Romanian common lexicon and the specialized language.
