Abstract

The following study is a historical approach to phenomenon of linguistic borrowing. The special field of study is Anglo-Russian political, cultural and economic contacts from the 16th century up to the present time. The aim of this work is to point out the exceptional imnportance of history as the first step in studying linguistic borrowing. The penetration of England into Russian economic and political life, and the Russian endeavours to strengthen links with a much more progressive and developed country, that is, England, resulted, among other things, in the enrichment of the Russian lexicon. Many English words were adopted by the Russians and after a long process of phonological, monphological and semantic adptation became an integral part of the everyday Russian vocabulary.
