Borrowings from the English language that have entered the national language. Because the financial world is largely globalized, words and phrases from English understandably accumulate here. If this is repeatedly criticized as a bad habit of the so-called „spirit of the time“ (zeitgeist), this is wrong. Already old merchant language sucked itself full with Italian words (like debit, account, cancellation), and the old stock exchange language took up many borrowings from French (like coupon, bear, journal). – See stock exchange language, financial jargon, linguistic imperialism.
