Abstract
The paper describes the enrichment of languages in language contacts. The study has shown that the key reason for borrowing words by languages is the lack of an appropriate word to express any subject, thing, process, event, or concept in them. To express a concept in the absence of a relevant word, a new word should be either created using the language’s own word-formation capabilities or borrowed from another language. It is defined that borrowing not only fills empty semantic ‘voids’ in the language but also sometimes acts as either a new variant of a certain word or a terminological unit. Such terms belong to different terminological fields and play a unique role in enriching the language vocabulary. The term first emerges in one language and then passes from one language to another, expanding its application area.
