English loanwords in Russian

I focus my research on English loanwords in Russian. First of all, I examine neologisms of foreign origin in present-day Russian, applying a complex method for the analysis of graphic, phonetic, morphological, word-formation, and semantic adaptation of Anglicisms. In addition to direct borrowings, I pay special attention to loan translations, hybrids, and pseudo-Anglicisms, which are usually poorly investigated in linguistic studies. In my research, I often reflect on problems related to the registration of English loanwords in dictionaries, making use of the latest results of Russian lexicography and dictionary publication. Apart from the synchronic approach, I also apply the diachronic method for the analysis of semantic change occurring in earlier English loanwords (especially from the 19th and 20th centuries) in present-day (21th-century) Russian, examining the question of polysemy and homonymy.
