Introduction
Language is a dynamic and ever-evolving system that constantly adapts to the changing needs and influences of its speakers. One of the most fascinating aspects of language evolution is linguistic borrowing, a process in which words, phrases, and even grammatical structures are borrowed from one language and integrated into another. This phenomenon is particularly prevalent in English, a language that has borrowed extensively from various languages throughout its history.
This study aims to explore the concept of linguistic borrowing in English, focusing on the various factors that influence the borrowing process and the impact of borrowed elements on the language as a whole. By examining the patterns and trends of borrowing in English, this research seeks to provide a comprehensive understanding of how linguistic borrowing shapes the language we use today.
