Типология заимствований в лексике литовского языка

The current paper is related to borrowings of European languages. The aim of the paper is to discuss the most significant theoretical approaches to the integration of borrowings and to show the types of their assimilation on the example of Lithuanian. The research is based on the examples drawn from the list of borrowings, made of the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language. The research work analyzes the use of borrowings in Lithuanian, determines their etymology, presents types of their integration as well as establishes the differences between lexical borrowings and their Lithuanian standardised and non-standardised equivalents. This study gives an overview of new borrowings in Lithuanian and shows what types of them the State Commission of the Lithuanian Language offers as a norm.
