RESEARCH OVERVIEW
Abstract
The study of the phenomenon of word borrowing is one of the essential sources in the study of the vocabulary of a language. Learning to acquire words depends on language conflict and language contact in linguistics. Communication between speakers of different languages is one of the factors that influence of languages each other. This language conflict is characterized by bilingualism, acquisition, and language shift. Several factors influence the acquisition of words, the degree of connection of their linguistic meanings, homonyms, the obsolescence of words, and the absence of semantic differences. This article discusses the research carried out by linguists and researchers on loanwords in Malaysia and beyond.
