Language is a dynamic system in which new words constantly appear and obsolete ones move to the periphery, are used less and less, sometimes they die. The pace of change in Russian vocabulary is uneven. During major social changes (for example, the 1990s of the 20th century), the vocabulary of the language is actively enriched. This is due to the need to identify many new concepts in different areas of life: politics, economics, show business, sports, computer technology. Words from other languages are often used for this purpose. [1:45]
The term “borrowing” has two meanings. Firstly, it is understood as “a process in which one language assimilates an element of another language”. Secondly, the borrowed element may be borrowed itself, and it should be borne in mind that it is the words that are most frequently borrowed, rather than morphemes and constructions. [1:46
