AB The wide variety of pseudo anglicisms shows that a number of categories are also found. This article is aimed at sketching these classifications more comprehensively, and to group pseudo loans according to prior studies and revisions (Görlach, 2002; Rodríguez, 2003; Onysko, 2007; Furiassi, 2010; Furiassi and Gottlieb, 2015). These typologies are mainly ac-companied by indigenous examples, extracted mostly from differential Cuban Spanish dictionaries and glossaries (Sánchez-Boudy, 1999; Haensch and Werner, 2003; Sánchez, 2017). This research analysis is also aimed at depicting the sociolinguistic causes and semantic evolution of English-induced pseudo loans, based on a compilation of these lexical units, and a brief account of the shifting socioeconomic and political scenarios in Cuba. Some major processes have also been attested and described: ‘hourglass-shaped’ and ‘pyramid-shaped’ semantic evolutions of loanwords, and ‘metaphorical calquing’, which might shed some light on how polysemy and semantic extension, in both source and recipient languages, are involved in the lexical coinage of pseudo loans.
