| Abstract: | Globalization influences economic development political systems, the environment,
languages and cultures as well as many other aspects of societies worldwide. Language has
become an integral and very sensitive element in the process of globalization; therefore
globalization related issues cannot be discussed without the analysis of language changes.
Today the English is a means of mutual communication of the emerging global culture spread
by international trade and relations, the internet, science, literature, sports and entertainment.
The influence of the English language on Macedonian and Slovene is evident on almost all
linguistic levels. The main goal of this thesis is to present the influence that English has on
the language of Macedonian and Slovene students. The research is focused on the analysis of
undergraduate theses in order to indicate the linguistic levels where the influence is most
evident and frequent. Additionally, as part of the research, I have prepared questionnaires
distributed among students currently studying at major universities in Macedonia and
Slovenia. The results show that the most affected linguistic levels are vocabulary and
orthography. Furthermore, the results point to the necessity of enriching the technological
terminology in both languages of interest. Students do not have negative attitudes toward the
expansion of English; on the contrary they believe that it provides certain benefits (education,
career, international communication). Macedonian and Slovene are not threatened by the
spread of the English language, but that does not mean that we should stop protecting our
linguistic heritage and indulge in indiscriminate use of words borrowed from English. |
