Description

1. INTRODUCTION The German linguistic literature distinguishes between Lehnworter (loan words) as a historic phenomenon and Fremdworter (foreign words) as a contemporary and concurrent phenomenon. Lehnworter are old loan words that were entirely assimilated into the grammatical system of the absorbing language and are no longer regarded as foreign. Fremdworter, on the other hand, enter the language in their foreign form without being adjusted grammatically or phonologically to the absorbing language. (2) Although the distinction is important and holds in principle for Hebrew as well, there is no clear-cut difference between Lehnworter and Fremdworter, as will be shown here. Old loans can be linguistically identified as foreign in modern Hebrew, in spite of their past historic evolution and possible grammatical and phonological adjustments. Certain linguistic criteria contribute to their foreignness even at present.
