SEMANTIČKA ADAPTACIJA GERMANIZAMA ZABELEŽENIH U INTERNET SERVISU „VUKAJLIJA“

Abstract

Using contrastive analysis, the paper compares the original meaning of Germanisms with their meaning in Serbian as the recipient language. The Germanisms were analysed from the point of view of the synchronic linguistic approach. Based on semantic criteria, the corpus was extracted from the Vukajlija Internet service, originally designed as a slang dictionary. The goal of the paper was to analyse the meaning of loanwords originating from the German language and their meaning in Serbian, as the recipient language, as well as further transformation of their meaning in the computer-mediated communication in Vukajlija. The contribution of this paper consists in the selection of thematic groups in which Germanisms appear.
