Acest fenomen se numeşte barbarism sau xenism lexical, fiind acum o formă de exces din partea vorbitorilor, prin care se naturalizează, într-o limbă, cuvinte internaţionalizate prin filiere franceză, engleză (britanică sau americană).

Explanation:
Francization or Gallicization (and informally Frenchification) is a process of cultural assimilation that gives a French character to a word, an ethnicity or a person.

şi, în continuare, (British or American) Anglicization

Anglicisation or Anglicization (see -ise vs -ize) is a process of conversion of verbal or written elements of any other language into a more comprehensible English form for an English speaker. The term most often refers to the process of altering the pronunciation or spelling of a foreign word when it is borrowed into English as it is a very pliable language. Personal names may also be anglicised
