 Anglicisms   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
Considering the division of anglicisms by sectors, that is, vegetable material (seeds, nutrients, etc), phytopathology (pests and diseases), postharvesting (packaging, cooling...), trading, managing and economy and fruit, vegetable and ornamental production technology, there are no significant differences in the number of terms that are included in each group.
The only one where there appears less anglicisms is the vegetable material group, most probably because it is the sector that yields the least neologisms, and therefore there are no anglicisms that need to be translated.
This anglicism is well-established in the Spanish language, and when this happens, we forget that there are Spanish alternatives that are as valid as the English versions.

 Anglicisms in French and Spanish
Anglicisms and pseudo-anglicisms are scarcely a new phenomenon in French, as such long-established usages as 'le dandy' and 'le smoking' (for 'dinner-jacket') attest.
The issue of anglicisms now appears in France as an aspect of a much broader problem, namely the identity of Europe and its defence against perceived US domination in the economic, political and cultural fields.
He inveighs above all against the sheer quantity of anglicisms: 'Ce qui agace, c'est la déferlante; ce qui révolte, c'est l'excès issu d'une seule et même origine' ('What is infuriating is the fact that this goes on and on; what is revolting is the excess [of words] of one and the same origin')

After Franco’s death in 1975, a flood of anglicisms of all kinds became clearly perceptible in the mass media in obvious connection with the subsequent changes experienced in Spain.
The anglicisms employed in them were registered and listed in a database which came to comprise approximately 230 items, including compounds and derivations.
A recent study on anglicisms in colloquial spoken Spanish, (Gómez Capuz 2000:65-67) proves this point quite conclusively: none of the 66 appearances in his corpus is “film”, the only word being “película” or the clipped form “peli”.

 Catholics, Anglicans find common ground on the place of Mary | The San Diego Union-Tribune
The result might be an elevation, or at least a heightened acknowledgment, of the place of Mary – particularly for Anglicans, the denomination birthed in England during the Reformation and called the Episcopal Church in the United States.
Anglicism is considered closest to Catholicism because it gives Mary a pre-eminent place among the saints, includes her in communion prayers and holds six Marian feast days.
Among other matters, Catholics and Protestants disagree over the Catholic dogmas of the Immaculate Conception – the assertion that Mary lived a life free from sin from the moment she was conceived – and the Assumption, the belief that her body and soul were taken into heaven when her earthly life ended.

 Review 2
Pennycook disagrees with the common views that Orientalism was replaced by Anglicism, and this lead to the widespread of English.
Anglicism fostered English as the medium of education, whereas Anglicism fostered local languages as the medium of education to the common man, excluding the elite..
At the end of this section Pennycook evaluates the teaching of English in the colonial era as a failure since it created a class of people who were alienated from their own languages, cultures, and discontented with the colonial rule.

 English language in europe
The integration of a great number of Anglicisms into the receiving languages of Europe, whose linguistic systems are different from that of English, requires a linguistic analysis to explain how the process is performed.
The adaptation of an English source word into an Anglicism begins on the orthographic level in order to determine the spelling of the Anglicism (the citation form) and its relation to the orthography of the model (the English source).
The gender of Anglicisms is generally determined by the so-called masculine tendency which means that the majority of Anglicisms are of masculine gender.

This is proof that there is more than one way to skin a cat.) Quebec French and European French tend to have entirely different Anglicisms for historical reasons.
See also (American) Finglish The Anglicisms can be divided to four types: direct phonetic imitation, translated expressions, borrowed grammar, and contamination of orthography.
An English orthographical convention is that compound words are written separately, whereas in Finnish compoundwords are written together, using a hyphen with acronyms and numbers.

 French language history
The presence of Anglicisms in spoken French Canadian is inevitable, being an officially bilingual country.
This difference in the treatment of Anglicisms can be felt in the assignment of gender for certain English words.
Like job or sandwich, which, because they don't have an e at the end, are considered masculine by the French and that's the way it is recorded in dictionaries, but Canadians use them as feminine in their everyday way of speaking.

 The Coming of Age of Imperialism (1772-1813), Part IV
However, while Anglicism was surely more hegemonic than Orientalism, one should not conclude that Orientalism was devoid of hegemony or of pernicious effects and intentions.
It was a policy that was predicated firmly on the practical need to maintain and improve British power in India, and whatever other rationales for it, such as a moral mission to preserve Indian civilizations and to help launch a renaissance among the Indian intelligentsia, were purely secondary ones.
While both were antagonistic policies that had a great deal of differences, in many ways, Anglicism was the logical conclusion of Orientalism.

 The Coming of Age of Imperialism (1772-1813), Part 1
While the British were not so conscious in 1765 of what their role would be in India, by 1813 a clear Anglicist mission began to be articulated, a mission that would continue well into the twentieth century.
While the formal death knell of Orientalism would not occur until two decades later, when the College of Fort William was abolished (1832) and historian Thomas Babington Macauley's famous Minute on Indian Education (1835) was written, in many ways 1813, not the 1830s, was the decisive break.
The allowing of missionaries into India for the first time ushered in a new, much longer era of Anglicism, a new imperialism much more brash and cognizant of its hegemonic position than British rule earlier had been.

A Dictionary of European Anglicisms documents the spread of English in Europe.
English, which mainly after 1066 imported thousands of words from French and Latin, is now by far the world's biggest lexical exporter, and the trade is growing as English continues to dominate various fields ranging from pop music to electronic communication.
The Dictionary of European Anglicism is a scholarly tour de force [French: imported early nineteenth century] and the result of a prodigious research effort across Europe masterminded and directed by Manfred Gorlach.

 Macaulay's Minute and the Beginnings of Bilingualism in English in India
He rejects the view that Orientalism was somehow a "good and innocent project that only had the rights of the colonized people at heart".
He claims that, in reality, Orientalism was as much part of colonialism as was Anglicism (Pennycook 1994: 103).
Although Orientalism is usually considered more sympathetic towards the local languages and cultures than Anglicism, it acknowledged the superiority of Western literature and learning, and it was a means to exercise social control over the people, and imposing of western ideas (Pennycook 1994: 102).

Some dictionaries insist that the term should be used only for ‘pure’ British features or 'typical British idioms' that are not used in the USA.

And note that when I say "class of people", I mean it in the American sense, which means it doesn't have to be a group one is born into.
