Out of stock
What are linguistic borrowings? This is a topic that undoubtedly concerns all of us. It is discussed at school, in textbooks, in scientific literature and on Internet forums. At the same time, popular excursions into the field of borrowings, published in Russia, are mostly reduced to the topic of foreign words in the Russian language. But what is borrowing in general, by what features we distinguish it, why it appears in the language, why it is resisted - there has been no book about it so far.
This gap was attempted to fill by the philologist and anglist Maria Elifyorova. Showing how languages interact with each other and how the fate of borrowings (it is not only about words), the author, along with examples from Russian culture, history and literature, turns to French, German, Spanish and more exotic languages from various corners of the globe. This information-rich and serious book happily combines the depth of scientific analysis with an accessible and lively presentation, humor and loyalty to rebels and violators of norms and canons.
