Evidence

Anzaldua, for example, reveals that she uses “anglicisms, words borrowed from English: bola from ball, carpeta from carpet… cookiar for cook, rvatchar for watch, [and] parkiar for park” (Anzaldua, 1999:79). — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2502
