Keywords: integration; interference; code-switching; loanwords.
Summary/Abstract: While the adaptation of foreign material to the patterns of the recipient language is generally seen as the norm, it has however to be admitted that it is a highly idiosyncratic process, which causes many borrowed words to have a certain linguistic status for some time after they are adopted into a language. The article tries to identify the stages through which borrowed words go in the process of integration.
