Question 2
2. Languages are known for borrowing words from one another.
A) In your own words, explain what you understand by the process of borrowing words from
one language to another.
The process of borrowing words from one language to another, also known as loanwords, occurs
when a language adopts words from another language and incorporates them into its own vocabulary.
This often happens when there is cultural contact or influence between different linguistic
communities.
The borrowed words are usually adapted to fit the phonological, morphological, and orthographic
patterns of the borrowing language. They can be influenced by the pronunciation, spelling, and
grammatical rules of the borrowing language, which may result in some modifications from the
original form.
This process enriches the vocabulary of the borrowing language and reflects the cultural exchange
and historical interactions between different communities. Loanwords often bring new concepts,
technologies, or cultural practices into the borrowing language, contributing to its evolution and
diversity.
