Semantic Adaptation of Anglicisms in French
Ljuba Dabo-Denegri
Abstract
Adaptation of anglicisms at the semantic level comprises various changes of meaning that occur in the process of linguistic borrowing. Three types of semantic changes have been analysed in this paper:
1) changes in semantic extension; 2) ellipsis; 3) pejoration. The analysis at the semantic level has been carried out in accordance with the theoretical tenets of languages in contact theory of R. Filipović (1986, 1990)
