IN SEVERAL STUDIES OF THE Anglo-American influence on the German vocabulary covering the years 1955-63,1 the extensive use of English words in German has been shown. Acceptance of this linguistic phenomenon to some extent by German scholars is indicated by the gradual inclusion of a number of neologisms in one or more recent standard dictionaries.2 Of a list of 266 English words in German discussed in my studies, almost one third of the 133 not included in German dictionaries at the time the articles were published have now received dictionary recognition.3 Further study of this subject reveals a continuation of the Anglo-American influence on the German language, which, as it has been since the Second World War, is now primarily an American influence. Also, as in the previous investigations, we find that the new material taken from typical German newspapers and magazines4 falls in the same categories, namely, entertainment and social life, clothes and fashions, business, advertisements, travel, a general or miscellaneous group, and expressions. Let us begin with the first-mentioned category
