Abstract
As the title implies, the article deals with the ways and reasons of penetration into the Latin religious terminology of borrowings from the Ancient Greek language. The research was based on the anonymous text of the IV century “The Pilgrimage of Aetheria to the Holy places”. Researching the problem of Latin religious terminology, we were faced with the fact that there existі a great amount of Greek words assimilated into Latin. The work analyzes the peculiarities of their functioning and lexical-semantic development in the system of the recipient language. The research showed that the main type of borrowings was transliteration. In our opinion, one of the most important aspects of this phenomenon was the reform of the Latin alphabet and the introduction of new letters, which could reproduce Greek sounds. According to the grammar, special emphasis is made on the fact that the Greek borrowings are not always fully assimilated into Latin language but save their essential paradigm of rejection (monazontes, idolon) and do not change their part-language affiliation (Paralipomenon). However, the changes also affected the semantic system of the language. Some terms in the perceptive language often acquire new meanings or semantic shades (ecclesia, cathedra, martyrium, diacon, etc.). Although considerable amount of research has been devoted to the functioning and types of penetration of the borrowings, few attempts have been made to investigate part-language peculiarities. It should be pointed out that most researched terms are nouns but some verbs (baptizare, exorcizare) could also be met.
