Anglicisms Dictionary.pdf

The Dictionary of Anglicisms of US Spanish (DAEE) is a dictionary that compiles anglicisms used in US Spanish and provides descriptive information on their social, geographical, and stylistic usage. It is a differential, descriptive, and usage dictionary of US Spanish, with objectives and characteristics that respond to specific reasons. The dictionary aims to provide a repertory of words with explicit characteristics, although exhaustiveness is more of a guide than a feasible goal due to the complexity of US Spanish. The DAEE is not intended to be a limited vocabulary or a glossary for specific discourses or texts, but rather a tool for semantic decoding and providing complementary information on lexical meanings. A second part, in the form of an inverted vocabulary, allows users to access the listed words from more general Spanish words, making it useful for encoding messages that include these words. The dictionary is part of an ongoing project, with plans to be made available online for continuous modification and update.
