Anglicisms in the 50's sport press

Abstract

Sports, one of the most relevant phenomena nowadays, has an Anglo-American origin, thus, the first sports terms reached the rest of the languages in English, that is, as Anglicisms. This paper aims to identify those words and observe the development they have suffered in the Spanish language spoken on both sides of the Atlantic. Through the analysis of three newspapers edited in Mexico, Argentina and Spain in the mid-20th century, the Anglicisms found will be formally analyzed and the degree of acceptance and admission in two dictionaries The Dictionary of Americanisms, published in 2010 and the Dictionary of the Spanish Royal Academy, published in 2001 will be determined.
