Borrowing synopsis

Studies on bilingualism have proliferated decades ago, but attention has been paid to its main feature, the fusion of words from one language to another. This size corrects this imbalance by going directly to Source: bilingual speakers in their social context.

Based on more than three decades of original research based on vast amounts of spontaneous performance data and a highly complex analytical tool, Shana Poblak has distinguished the phenomenon of lexical borrowing in the community of speech and grammar, simultaneously and directly. In contrast to most other treatments, which deal with the output of borrowing (if they consider it at all), this book examines the process: how speakers speak about integrating foreign elements in their bilingual speech. How they are adapted to the grammatical structure of the recipient language; how these forms spread across speakers and communities; how much time goes on in real time.

And whether they change over time. By attacking some of the most controversial issues in empirical research, he experimented with hypotheses about borrowed words, illegal borrowing, and code keys on a wide range of unique data sets on similar and theoretically similar language pairs.

The main focus of the detailed analysis of integration is the main mechanism underlying the borrowing process. Although the form assumed by the borrower model may be colored by a community agreement, Poplack demonstrates that the act of converting elements of the donor language into local materials is universal.

Focusing on the actual behavior of the speakers along with strong evidentiary standards, including data-based reports of incidence rates, the formation of a different option and statistically significant measures, makes borrowing an indispensable reference for language communication and bilingual behavior.
