Summary/Abstract: Under the massive influence of English, Romanian vocabulary has enriched with a lot of words lately, especially nouns denoting activities and persons carrying them out. We can include in this category terms related to personal/ professional development and career such as coach, coachee, coacherand coaching, trainer and training, mentor and mentoring. Some of them adapt phonetically and/ or morphologically to the language they are borrowed in, others become a basis for derivation. The present study focuses on such loans in Romanian and questions their necessity taking into account that one can find enough terms to replace these anglicisms.
