Summary/Abstract: In the process of code-switching in the communication of bilingual people, different sorts of loanwords appear (mostly lexemes ans phrasemes). The analysis of this typological and terminological aspect shows extraordinary variety, because classic, diachronic vocabulary in some cases fades into elements of sociolinguistic approach. For this reason, first and foremost aspects of our research are those that are used in the systematization of contactology, we have looked at types of borrowing in the corpus: we analized direct word-loaning, morphologic and semantic loans, as well as other combined forms (morphology-semantics, overcorrected types). Code-switching is analized in the given context, this way except for lexical-semantic analysis one can interpret basic pragmatic aspects of code-switching.
