Borrowings in the non-terminological lexis of texts for specific: relations between objects of study

Summary/Abstract: Linguistic borrowings in texts for specific purposes are usually studied in terminology. However, borrowings also occur in non-terminological lexis. The article discusses English loanwords in lexis describing relations between objects of study and is based on an analysis of Polish texts on immunology written for doctors and medical students. Arguments are presented, including changes in semantic collocability patterns, for recognising certain usages of Greek- and Latin-derived verbs as borrowings from contemporary English. A mechanism of language transfer through text is presented and the term syntagmatic transfer is proposed as the name for this phenomenon. Adj. A. Gierba
