Abstract
This dissertation is titled: Analysis on How Adolescent Girls Ages 12-18 Use the Anglicisms Found in the Teen Magazines: Tú, Generación21, and Seventeen. It describes the way anglicisms are used by teenagers ages 12-18. This dissertation will only cover words that have been found in the three magazines above dating from January 2011 to December 2011. It is important to note that this dissertation will not discuss the positive or negative effects these magazines have on adolescents nor determine if these words influence them. This study will also not deal with the positive or negative effects the English language has on Spanish. This dissertation is divided into three chapters: Chapter 1 covers the linguistic theoretical background topics that are necessary to carry out the description and analysis of the surveys. This chapter includes topics such as linguistics and its branches: morphology, and semantics. Chapter 2 contains the sociolinguistic aspects that will provide the basis for this topic. Some of these topics are language contact, borrowing, English in Ecuador and the three concentric circles of English. Chapter 3 will be devoted to the actual survey description and analysis. This dissertation also contains a conclusions section as well as an annex which contains the results for the first survey done before the dissertation plan, as well as a copy of the second survey. It also contains all the words found in the magazines as well as their frequent occurrence.
