The object of this study is to recognise and analyse foreign words and loanwords deriving from the English language which have been documented in the spoken language of fishermen from Cadiz. The Anglicisms collected in this study pertain to a maritime lexicon used by sailors along the coast of Cadiz. Of the 682 seafaring voices collected during a series of semi-guided interviews conducted from La Línea de la Concepción to Sanlúcar de Barrameda, twenty-one have their origin in foreign languages such as English, French, Portuguese and Italian; nine of these are of English origin.
