Question 2
2.1
i) Borrowing words from one language to another occurs when one language takes
words from another and incorporates them into its own vocabulary. This process
enriches the borrowing language with new terms, often adapting the spelling,
pronunciation, or meaning to fit the new linguistic context.
ii) Three Examples Illustrating Borrowing
1. Buffet - Borrowed from French. In French, the 't' is silent, but in English, it is often
pronounced.
2. Ballet - Also borrowed from French. The 't' is silent in both languages, but the
word is fully integrated into English vocabulary.
3. Pizza - Borrowed from Italian. The pronunciation remains largely the same, but it
has been fully adopted into English.
iii) Two Borrowed Words from My Language
1. Laptop - Borrowed from English, often spelled and pronounced similarly in the
borrowing language.
o A portable computer.
