Typology of borrowings in linguistics

Abstract

This study investigates the typology of borrowings in linguistics, focusing on the processes, types, and adaptation mechanisms of borrowed words in various languages. Borrowings, also known as loanwords, occur when one language adopts words from another due to contact and cultural exchange. The research classifies borrowings into types such as lexical, phonological, morphological, and semantic borrowings. Special attention is given to the comparative typology of English and Uzbek borrowings, highlighting their phonetic and semantic changes. The findings contribute to understanding the dynamics of linguistic change and cross-linguistic influence.
