Summary/Abstract: The constant promotion of internationalisation and globalisation, together with the new technological and scientific discoveries of the last decades, have facilitated the accelerated absorption of English borrowings (anglicisms) to Romanian, reflecting the quick changes in various social and material cultures. In the present article, we aim to analyse English borrowings selected from the Great Dictionary of Neologisms (MDN 2008) and from the Dictionary of the Romanian Language (DEX 2012), beginning with the letter D, from a morphological point of view. The corpus includes 141 English borrowings to Romanian and the analysis is based on an analytical, descriptive method.
