| Citazioni | [...] 'intimate borrowing' which occurs when two languages are spoken in what is topographically and politically a single community. Intimate borrowing is one-sided [...] The borrowing goes from predominantly from the upper language to the lower, and it very often extends to speech-forms that are not connected with culural novelties. |
