ABSTRACT

After the 1990s, an influx of Americanism flooded Romanian language and culture. Management, curriculum, network, new look, weekend, lifestyle, event, and happening are only a few words that have slipped into Romanian language from the American language. If we add to these words McDonald’s, Pizza Hut, Ford cars, and American movies, then we may talk about an American invasion. Yet to understand this phenomenon, we should go back a little bit in time.
