ǂThe ǂinfluence of English on Slovene blogs

diplomsko delo

Abstract

The purpose of my diploma paper was to establish the influence of English on Slovene blogs; namely, in which linguistic areas it appears and how it is manifested in them. In order to do that I carried out a study in which I examined close to 100 randomly chosen Slovene blogs and examined them for lexical and syntactic characteristics. The collected examples were them classified in different categories according to their meaning, use and function. I found that the English influence on Slovene blogs is mostly seen in lexis (various degrees of adaptation of loanwords and slang); the influence is seen also in syntax, although not a substantial one (the redundant use of possessive pronouns, the use of nouns in a premodifying function in front of nominal headwords where in Slovenia we would normally expect an adjective or some other construction, the use of proper names/brand names in the premodifying position, word-for-word translation of calques. Furthermore, the influence of English on Slovene blogs is seen also in partial use of English in names of bloggers and categories and titles of blogs and blog entries. The following facts could be the reasons for the above stated influence of English on Slovene blogs: (1) English is the main means of communication on the Internet; as such it enables better recognition, maybe even popularity on the world wide web (2) Many times English is seen as the language that is more prestige, sophisticated, and modern than the language we were born into.

Secondary title:	Vpliv angleščine na slovenske bloge
Secondary abstract:	Namen diplomske naloge je bil ugotoviti vpliv angleščine na slovenske bloge, in sicer na katerih jezikovnih ravneh in kako se le-ta v njih kaže. V ta namen sem izvedla raziskavo, v kateri sem pregledala skoraj 100 naključno izbranih slovenskih blogov. S pomočjo analize blogov kot dokumentov sem izpisovala primere s področja besedišča in skladnje. Le-te sem nato s pomočjo deskriptivno-kavzalne metode razvrstila v različne kategorije. Ugotovila sem, da se vpliv angleščine na slovenskih blogih kaže predvsem na področju besedišča (različne ravni adaptacije prevzetih besed in sleng); določen vpliv se kaže tudi na področju skladnje (odvečna raba svojilnih zaimkov, raba samostalnikov v vlogi levih prilastkov pred samostalniškimi odnosnicami, kjer bi načeloma v slovenščini pričakovali pridevnik ali kakšno drugo konstrukcijo, raba lastnih imen/imen znamk v vlogi levih prilastkov, dobeseden prevod kalkov). Vpliv angleščine na slovenske bloge se kaže tudi v delni rabi angleščine v imenih kategorij in blogerjev ter naslovih blogov in vnosov. Vzroke za tovrsten vpliv angleščine lahko iščemo v naslednjih dejstvih: (1) angleščina je glavno sporazumevalno sredstvo na svetovnem spletu; kot tako omogoča večjo prepoznavnost, morda celo priljubljenost na spletu (2) angleščina se velikokrat dojema kot jezik, ki je bolj prestižen, sofisticiran, moderen od jezika, v katerega smo se rodili.
