Abstract

This research aims to investigate the use of foreign words originated from English in Capricho magazine. The specific objectives are: to identify the English words presented in four Capricho magazines, focusing on the different aspects of meaning that they present the context and see how the English-speaking foreign words are used in the magazines. The work is motivated by the high level of English language words found in Capricho magazines. This work is of descriptive, qualitative and bibliographic nature, given that the object of study is pre-prepared. To achieve the proposed objectives, the corpus will be analyzed based on the following theoretical frameworks: a) expansion of the English language: historical context, Crystal (1997, 2003) and Graddol (2000); b) English language influences in Brazil, Rajagopalan (2005) Pasquali (2006), Garcez; Zilles (2001), Valadares (2014) and Fiorin (2004); c) the law against borrowing, Bagno (2004), The definition of borrowing, proposed by Valadares (2014) Bagno (2007), Garcez; Zilles (2001), Faraco (2001) and Arcari; Colaco (2007); and d) The use of borrowing in magazines, Schmitz (2004), Vasconcelos (2008) and Carvalho (2003). The results showed a high number of foreign words derived from English which were incorporated into the Portuguese language, for lack of an equivalent word in Portuguese, or a word in English to show more modernity and refinement. Other words have been adapted graphically and phonetically for a better match to the lexicon of the Portuguese language.
