"While there is a considerable body of scholarship on the influence English has exerted on French, the converse situation has been relatively neglected. Julia Schultz innovates by providing the first systematic appraisal of the phonetic and semantic integration of twentieth-century loanwords from French based on a comprehensive lexicographical corpus." - Professor John Humbley, Universitè Paris Diderot "This work is a substantial academic monograph, with all the attention to detail required, and clear and logical presentation. It fills an important gap in the literature of loan words. Building on [Oxford English Dictionary] versions and supplements, it painstakingly collates and augments the data there with analysis and illustrative material gleaned from English language corpora. To a linguistically informed audience, this represents a crucial update to established reference source - to the general academic public, the thinking person's coffee table book, fun to browse through." - Professor Antoinette Renouf, Birmingham University
