Analysis and Research on Chinese Loanwords
- Abstract
- With the tendency of economic globalization, the rapid development of science and technology and frequent cultural exchanges, languages contact, influence and supplement each other inevitably, especially in the field of vocabulary. More and more foreign vocabularies have been introduced into Chinese, becoming an important part of daily life. The approach of absorbing the words from another language is defined as lexical borrowing and the vocabularies introduced by that way are named foreign word or loanword. Loanwords are not generated by the internal evolution of the language; instead they are borrowed from another language through language contact and cultural exchange. Therefore, loanwords in a language are a special type of vocabulary with strong cultural absorption. The thesis is divided into five chapters. Chapter one is the introduction of loanwords. Chapter two is the previous research on loanwords. Chapter three is the classification of loanwords into: Phonetic Borrowing, Literal translation, Letter Loans and Hybrids. Chapter four according to Hallyu to introduce the borrowing words from South Korea, that we can know loanwords can be a guide to foreign cultures. Chapter five some problems in translating the loanwords are pointed out and we must take effective approach to standardize the foreign words. In conclusion, language is one of the important ways for communicating the standardization of which is for better interaction. The aim and purpose of language development is to achieve healthier and richer language. When we absorb the loanwords, we should pay more attention to standardizing the loanwords
