Abstract
The paper defines semantic loans as a kind of translation loans in which, under the influence of a foreign language, the existing signifier is given a new signified. The author describes the concept of semantic loan itself and the criteria for its identification, together with the model language and the media tor language, various kinds of semantic loans, semantic relations resulting from semantic borrowings and the relation between semantic loans and other types of translation loans, and consequently questions the accuracy of the traditional term for this type of translation loans.
