Abstract

Linguistic borrowing is best manifested on the plane of lexical items whose number predominates over the borrowed elements on the plane of phonology or morphology. In the light of several linguistic theories and terminologies (Haugen, Weinreich, Filipović et al.) various types of lexical borrowings are examined and analysed with the aim of distinguishing one type from another: direct borrowings, semantic borrowings, pseudo-loanwords and loan translations. The presented examples demonstrate their diversity and, at the same time, the complexity of their integration into the borrowing language.

Keywords

direct borrowings; semantic borrowings; pseudo-loanwords; loan translations
