About West Slavic Borrowings in the Russian Language
Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This article is devoted to the borrowing of West Slavic vocabulary into the Russian language. The work cites and classifies all commonly used words borrowed from the Polish language. The mediating role of the Polish language for borrowing from Western European languages is indicated. The work presents almost all Czech borrowings (bohemisms) that have been established in the Russian lexical system. The study notes the isolated nature of Slovak words' penetration into Russian. However, several dozen Slovak words are presented that have a similar sound to Russian words but differ in meaning. All West Slavic borrowings are assimilated by the Russian language, are close to its grammatical system and can only be called borrowings etymologically.
