Jezici u kontaktu i kontrastu (tipološka klasifikacija jezika/fonološko poređenje jezičkih promjena)
Languages in Contact and Contrast (Typological Classification of the Languages/ Phonological Comparison of the Language Variation)

Summary/Abstract: Language contacts can be studied in three directions: a) language acquisition; b) language borrowing; c) translation. In this project all three directions are investigated. The process of language borrowing has been analysed on four levels: the phonological, the morphological, the semantic and the syntactic levels. The adaptation of a model (a foreign word) shows two kinds of changes: primary and secondary changes which take place on all four levels. The adaptation on the quoted levels is carried out according to the three types of transphonemization (zero, compromise and free), three types of transmorphemization (zero, compromise and complete) and, according to the, degree of the change of meaning, on the semantic level.
