Keywords: Englishisms; economics; specialised language

Summary/Abstract: The starting point of discussion on foreign lexemes registered in consecustive editions of Italian dictionaries is the opinion about increasing number of Englishism formulated by Tullio de Mauro. The analysis covers terms used in the Italian language of economics and finance. Gian Luigi Beccaria, Gaetano Berruto, Alberto Sobrero and Maurizio Trifone understand this language as one of the specialised languages. Because of the numerous terms used in specialised discourse devoted to economics, I will narrow the discussion to: credit crunch, rating and spread. The presented Theory will be supported by examples derived from the specialised press. The corpus contains phrases found in „Il sole 24 ore“ journal.
