A descriptive analysis of Anglicisms used in ecuadorian newspapers.

This research is about a description and analysis of anglicisms used in the Ecuadorian press. It will allow us to know the social factors and the level of influence which the English has had on our own language. One hopes that the readership will understand that it is not necessary to use foreign expressions if we have our own ones. This research on the use of anglicisms in the written press was carried out in Santo Domingo de los Tsáchilas, and for this reason a collection of the newspapers El Comercio, La Hora and El extra was carried out for seven consecutive days; from the 9th to the 15th November 2009. The data was collected from the news, ads, social pages, reports and sports sections. Then a quantitative and a qualitative tabulation of each of the sections were carried out. On carrying out the comparative analysis of the results, the section which presented the greatest number of anglicisms was the ads section, and the least number was in the social pages.
