الملخص الإنجليزي

This study aimed at analyzing the English loanwords used in Modern Standard Arabic (MSA) at the phonological, morphological and semantic levels.

The sample of this study consisted of sixty issues of three different daily Arab newspapers.

More specifically, twenty issues of each of the following newspapers, the Jordanian Al-Rai, the Lebanese Alhayat, and the Arabic international Asharq Al-Awsat published in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, from the first to the twentieth of June, 2009.

All loanwords, which the researcher could trace back to English and were written in Arabic script, were collected and classified according to their domains and frequencies.

The results of this study showed that Arabic journalistic writing depended on using a large number of loanwords without hesitation, the majority of these loanwords were mentioned in the previous studies such as Butros (1963), Suleiman (1981), Hussein and Zughoul (1993) and Kailani (1994).

Other new loanwords were incorporated in the daily Arab newspapers under investigation to designate new inventions, innovations, and concepts.

The study showed a high increase in loanwords used in MSA and expected that a larger number of English loanwords would be incorporated in journalistic Arabic in the years to come.

The study concluded by recommending other studies to be conducted: - Further research be conducted, using different newspapers from other Arab countries to investigate the rate of English loanwords.

- Further studies be conducted to investigate the Arabic equivalents that can replace the English loans in specific and the foreign loans in general.
