Summary/Abstract: The constant promotion of phenomena like internationalization and globalization, together with the new technological and scientific discoveries in the last decades, have ensured a fertile ground for an accelerated absorption of English-origin borrowings, thus reflecting the rapid changes emerging from various social and material cultures. In the present article, we studied the English-origin borrowings (letter G) selected from MDN (2008) – The Great Dictionary of Neologisms and DEX (2016) – The Explicative Dictionary of the Romanian Language, as far as their morphological integration is concerned. The word collection included 98 English-origin borrowings and the method used was an analytical, descriptive one.
