Posljedice globalizacijskih procesa vidljive su i u jeziku kao tendencija k internacionalizaciji. Internacionalizacija, ili možda preciznije angloamerikanizacija, zahvatila je sve jezike modernoga svijeta. Hrvatski jezik nije iznimka. U ovom ćemo radu spomenuti samo neke od posljedica internacionalizacije, i to na leksičkoj, tvorbenoj i semantičkoj razini.

The consequences of globalization processes are visible in language as tendencies towards internationalization. Internationalization, or more precisely Anglo-Americanization, has affected all modern languages in the world and the Croatian language is no exception. Due to the great influence of the English language, new development tendencies can be found on many language levels. All this stresses the need for standardologists to dedicate more serious consideration to this problem, and offer adequate and unified solutions, especially on the levels of orthography and word formation.
