Abstract

Researchers have analyzed the effect that loanwords have exercised on English vocabulary development. Through years of cultural and socio-political contacts English language acquired vocabulary from several languages including Turkic, Russian, Latin, French and Scandinavian. Present research on lexical borrowinghas not identified enough details regarding how borrowed words become integrated within modern English vocabulary. The researchers used qualitative historical linguistic research to study the problem at hand. The analysis depended on linguistic corpora and etymological dictionaries and historical texts because researchers studied the phonetic processes together with morphological and semantic transformations of foreign terms in English. Loanwords in English language integration demonstrate various levels of assimilation because they either assimilate completely or maintain distintive elements from their original languages. Research has shown that partially assimilated words help build the complexity of English vocabulary because they remain a vital part of its evolving nature. The research findings both enrich our knowledge of contact linguistics and provide practical insights for language teaching methods alongside linguistic policy guidance regarding cultural exchanges which keep building linguistic vocabulary.
