The article presents a study of anglicisms evident in Norwegian newspapers that can be related to the recent financial crisis of 2007-2010. Examples of such anglicisms are credit crunch, subprime, hedge funds, collateralised debt obligations (CDOs) and derivative. The aim has been to see whether new Norwegian terminology is formed in addition to these anglicisms in a domain which is highly coloured by English. Also, it has been an aim to see whether corpus-based analyses of newspapers may be a fruitful method for finding terminology and other terminological data.
