Morphological Categories in Linguistic Borrowing

Rudolf Filipović

Abstract

In the process of linguistic borrowing, when the model (the
foreign word from the donor glanguage) turns into the replica
(the loanword in the borrowing language), its adaptation on the
morphologrical level primarily concerns the formation of its
citation form. At the same time it is determined to which part
of speech the loanword belongs. Following two new concepts
which the author int-roduces into the classification of changes
in linguistíc borowing, he concludes that: a) in primary
adaptation loanwords remai-n in the same word class; b) in
secondary adaptation loanwords can change the word class
which they belonged to in the «donor language. The author analyses three parts of speech of English loanwords (substantives, verbs, and adjectives) to show the changes and their consequences.
