Anglicismos crudos y adaptados en el Diccionario del léxico juvenil en España (2023)
El presente trabajo analiza los anglicismos crudos y adaptados en el recién publicado Diccionario del léxico juvenil en España (2023), de María Luisa Regueiro Rodríguez. Esta obra recoge más de 3.000 voces, de las cuales un 7% son anglicismos, sin contar los derivados, las abreviaturas y las locuciones. La mayoría de ellos aparece por primera vez en un repertorio lexicográfico. El grupo de préstamos crudos sobrepasa con diferencia (el 90%) al de los adaptados; lo cual no solo refleja un elevado grado de familiaridad por parte de los jóvenes con el inglés, sino que el análisis de los campos semánticos a los que pertenecen desvela al mismo tiempo intereses y actitudes de este grupo etario. El análisis de los anglicismos adaptados abarca aspectos ortográficos, presencia de dobletes y campos semánticos. En este estudio se hace referencia, por último, a numerosas cuestiones referidas a la microestructura de los artículos lexicográficos.

English in the News
Samuel Pickering, professor of English at the University of Connecticut and reputed inspiration for the lead character in Dead Poets Society states, \"I do not dine with those who split infinitives\"; and Loftus Jestin, English Department Chair at Central Connecticut State University, believes \"hearing split infinitives is like listening to Mozart when the pianist keeps hitting all the wrong notes.\" TESOL Matters October/November 1998 Low Literacy Levels are a Public Health Problem In a recent interview, the director of the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development, Duane Alexander, defined difficulty learning to read as a public health problem. A study of the U.S. Justice Department's Office of Juvenile Justice found that reading failure is one likely cause for the frustration and anger that result in delinquent behavior, and that when reading skills improve, recidivism declines. All agree that the poor reading scores of our nation's children are intolerable and that reading improvement must be number one on the nation's education reform agenda.

English in the News
CNN 23 June 1999 English Only Tests Unfair The President's Advisory Commission on Educational Excellence for Hispanic Americans has determined that English-only tests that determine whether a student is promoted or graduates from high school may violate millions of Latino children's rights. In 1974, the Supreme Court ruled that schools are required to provide help for students with limited English, but opponents of bilingual education argue that malting \"accommodations for children on high stakes testing will only hurt them in the long run.\" Latino children currently perform half as well as their native-English-speaking peers and drop out of high school at twice the rate of non-Latinos. Because Latinos will become the nation's largest ethnic/racial group by the year 2010, educating the nation's 3.4 million Latino children properly is more important than ever. The Toronto Star 19 June 1999 Diversity in Massachusetts? A deputy commissioner of the Massachusetts department of education claims that books used to teach reading focus too much on diversity and not enough on skills.
