English in Sweden.
Ljung, Magnus
The results of a survey in Sweden concerning the linguistic influences of English in that country are reported. Specifically, the spread and reception of three types of loans from English (direct, translation, and construction) are examined, as well as the use of the English plural and spelling with direct loans. The variables investigated include the respondents' acceptance of and willingness to use the loan types; responses to the choice of English spelling for specific words; and differences in sex, occupation, region, education, and age in relation to use of the loan types, English spelling, and English plurals. The survey results are charted and accompanied by narrative analysis. (MSE)
