Abstract

The paper proposes a typological classification of eastern borrowings in the modern Russian language. The article describes types of eastern vocabulary, proposes a functional typology of foreign vocabulary and identifies the most appropriate generic term for eastern borrowings. Scientific originality of the study lies in the fact that the author tries to systematize the borrowed vocabulary and to reveal the status of “eastern” words. As a result, it is proved that eastern borrowings include assimilated equivalent words and non-equivalent words. According to the degree of a differential seme manifestation, they can be classified as orientalisms.
