Military and warfare euphemisms in English = Vojaški in vojni evfemizmi v angleščini : diplomsko delo
Gorše, Nina
With the rise of the British Empire and the growing power of the USA, the English language started to spread around the world and has now become a global language which is to some extent present in ...most countries. During thisprocess, new variations of English started to emerge. In China, English isused as a foreign language and is now present there in two variations. One is a developing New English called China English, and the other an interlanguage called Chinglish. They both contain some characteristics of the Chinese language - the former is affected in a positive, the latter in a negative way. This paper examines the global spread of English, the two variations of English in China, and the mistakes that occur in Chinglish, in order to better understand which are the most prevalent and why they occur. Through an analysis of 300 examples of Chinglish, it was discovered that wrongword choices, spelling, and word for word translation are the most frequent mistakes. These and other mistakes in Chinglish can possibly be attributed to poor English skills, negative mother tongue transfer and relyingtoo much on machine translation.
