The main purpose of this article is to touch on a strictly topical subject in the field of Romanian vocabulary: borrowings from English, French, German, etc. The invasion of borrowings nowadays is due to advertising, commercial or political purposes. Traders and politicians tend to impress the audience by using more sophisticated, foreign or institutionalized terms. Today's communication turns into a false one. The adoption and the usage of these terms in speech reflect some cultural and social expressive needs.
