Languages In Contact And Contrast

Summary/Abstract: Language contacts can be studied in three directions: language acquisition; b) language borrowing; c) translation. This paper presents a research in all the three directions. The process of language borrowing is analysed on four levels: phonological, morphological, semantic, and syntactic. The adaptation of a model (a foreign word) shows primary and secondary changes that 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 in accordance to the degree of the change of meaning on the semantic level.
