Resumen
- This study has the objective of presenting fifty-three (53) football-related Anglicisms found in Spanish texts published between 1868 and 1903. Using heuristics in various texts and documents digitalized, a corpus was built using the Reglamento de foot-ball (1902), adopted by the Asociación Clubs de Football de Barcelona, Antonio Viada’s Manual del Sport (1903), and general and specialized texts taken from newspapers, like La Vanguardia. This study on fifty-three Anglicisms found between 1868 and 1903 aims to be a lexical contribution to the history of Spanish language and to the Historical Dictionary of Football Terms in Spanish (DHTF, in Spanish), currently in progress.
