Abstract:
The historical factors stipulating borrowing of terms of Arabic origin by
European languages include spread of this language in the Middle East widely
in ancient times and economic and cultural relations existing historically
between European countries and East. Of course, borrowed Arabic words differ
from one another in their meaning, content and status. For example, kofe,
azimut, kalibr, tarif, tara, almanax, alkoqol, maqazin, zenit, alqoritm which are
the wordsof Arabic origin are widely used in European languages, furthermore
they have led to creation of some derivative compound words. Some of them are
international words e.g. tara, alkoqol, tarif, etc. Terms of Arabic origin influence
European languages in different ways: 1. Neologisms which have not been
borrowed from Arabic language in the finished form, and have developed in
European languages; 2. the terms which have been borrowed from Arabic
language in the complete form and have been subjected to phonetic substitution.
