Nowadays, the foreign influences on the Romanian Language, especially those from English, have a high frequency due to the development of contemporary society, leaving its mark primarily in the structure of the vocabulary. In the specialized literature are controversial discussions concerning the inappropriate use of the term „linguistic borrowing”. We also notice the complete inconsistency between that concept and the lexical phenomenon in discussion, due to which we suggest for this notion the term – foreignism. At the same time we put the problem of the anglicisms’ orthography, considering three ways of taking them: the transcription as it is pronounced, partial writing and transliteration.
