Abstract:
As English increases its presence internationally, there is an increased amount of language-contact between Spanish and English that has spread across South America. The spread of English and its influence on Spanish depends heavily on the attitudes that Spanish speakers hold towards the culture that English represents, usually British or United States culture. Argentina has a number of borrowings and other English influences through language and culture. Strong European influence and English contact in the capital, Buenos Aires, has caused a significant impact in their culture as a whole. This study serves to analyze the attitudes of Argentine students from the Universidad de Belgrano in Buenos Aires in how English has affected their culture as well as express the attitudes of these students towards the English language and United States culture.
