Abstract
Language is a great value of all nations in the world. Thanks to languages, many cultural traditions are passed on from generation to generation. However, the trend of globalization is also gradually affecting the language of a nation. Every day more and more borrowed words appear in Vietnamese language. They are widely used in many fields, from topics on everyday life to topics in economics, politics. Over a long period of time, determining which words are loanwords and which words — pure Vietnamese words is not a simple task. The mass media use language as a means of communication, so they are very sensitive, active in the exchange and language development. Contemporary Vietnamese media reflect the diversity, innovation and development trends of the modern Vietnamese language. This article examines the use of English words in Vietnamese newspapers. Aspects of preserving the purity of the Vietnamese language are also discussed.
