False Friends or True? Semantic Anglicisms in France Today.
Rifelj, Carol
French Review, v69 n3 p409-16 Feb 1996
Focuses on the infiltration of English into the French language. The article covers terms belonging to one of three levels of acceptability and perception: (1) terms that have been in the French language for a long period; (2) terms that have recently gained a foothold in the language; and (3) terms that still escape the notice of dictionaries.
