The following article aims at presenting the changes in the scope of
meaning of English loan-words in the Danish language. The ranges
of meanings of loan-words tend to diverge from those of the original
words: they can either be narrower or broader. Besides, there are
instances of the so-called 'false friends', where the meanings are
totally different. The article is meant to exemplify the phenomena
rather than exhaust the inventory of loan-words.
