BORROWINGS IN ENGLISH ISLAMIC DISCOURSE: MECHANISMS OF LEXICAL INTEGRATION

Abstract

Borrowing is a well-established linguistic process whereby one language adopts words or expressions from another, often in response to lexical or semantic deficiencies [Field, 2002; 189]. Within the context of English Islamic discourse, borrowing serves as a strategic response to the lack of equivalent terms for culturally specific Islamic concepts
