KRYTERIA OCENY POPRAWNOŚCI ANGLICYZMÓW W PROFESJOLEKTACH

Contrary to English loans used in Standard Polish, which have been well-researched in studies on English-Polish language contact, Anglicisms used in Polish professional jargons have been neglected by researchers, despite their steadily growing numbers evidenced by the preliminary research carried out for the purposes of the present study. The aim of the article is to verify the usefulness of the available criteria that help decide whether a lexical innovation is in agreement with language norm, for the normative assessment of professional Anglicisms. One other aim is to enrich the existing list of criteria with other normative determinants, such as semantic precision, pragmatic function, international status of specialised terminology, and the hermetic nature of a professional group. Anglicisms have been excerpted from four professional jargons, whose choice has been determined by their diversity and the hermetic nature of the professional group.
