ENGLISH LOANS IN CHINESE: A FREGEAN TYPOLOGY AND FACTORS OF PRAGMATIC PREFERENCE

Journal Title: ІНОЗЕМНА ФІЛОЛОГІЯ - Year 2017, Vol 130, Issue

Abstract

Tackled in the present study are the phonemic, meaningful, referential and graphical properties of English loanwords in the process of their copying or adapted assimilation in the Chinese recipient medium. A calculus of ten types of loanwords has been offered. The paper concludes with the models of pragmatic-cognitive preferences shared by the community of speakers that opt for a profiling of the specific modus properties of the source language elements as regards their reincarnation and adoption in the scenarios of intercultural communication.
