| Citazioni | The simplest kind of influence that one language may exert on another is the 'borrowing' of words. When there is a cultural borrowing there is always the likelihood that the associated words may be borrowed too. [...] words may be diffused no less freely than cultural elements, [...] sounds may be borrowed too, and [...] even morphological elements may be taken over. |
