Collocational potential in language contact - English in the Modern World. Festschrift for Hartmut Breitkreuz on the Occasion of His Sixtieth Birthday

The present paper is concerned with collocational ranges in language contact, specifically with collocational ranges of English-based borrowed elements in German. A comparison of the collocational ranges of given lexical items in the two systems reveals that some near-synoymous English-based borrowed eleements in German such as Boß, Baron, Mogul, etc. are potentially tricky false-friends since their collocational ranges exhibit structures that are pseudo-anglicisms of an unusual type.
