Abstract

This article examines how words recently borrowed into Slovenian are written. The semantic fields of food and drink were selected to demonstrate that lexical borrowing is a linguistic change that takes place gradually such that various forms coexist in a language. The analysis of selected words borrowed from various languages during various time periods shows that the degree of nativization depends on intersecting linguistic, social, and psychological factors. The conclusion emphasizes that findings on nativization as a process must be taken into account in the lexicographic presentation of borrowed words.
