Asian Borrowing in Commercial and Scientific Modern English
Keywords:
Asian, borrowing, commercial, scientific, Modern EnglishAbstract
The main aim of this paper is to show the introduction of Asian loanwords in commercial and scientific Modern English. There are several reasons why English speakers might want to adopt a foreign word. The simplest one is that the word is the name for something new, which is often the case in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries. The definitions and etymologies of the loanwords selected together with the date and work where they are first registered are extracted from the OED.
