N2 - This research report focuses on the use of English loanwords related to the Internet and computer technology. A corpus-based approach was used to analyze a total of 33,193 words including 11,063 tokens found on 10 Macedonian business websites. Type/token ratios were obtained for 4 different types of lexical item found in the data: Macedonian items, English loanwords, English semantic loans and English items. Borrowed lexeme structures by word class were also described. Results suggested that several types of English loan existed in the Macedonian language: loanwords, semantic loans and English words (non-nativized forms of loanwords). Other types of loan, such as loan translations and hybrids, and grammatical influences from English were also present.
