Fun article on #English #loanwords. I had no idea about the origins many of them.

Vendredi lecture ?
Loanwords and japanese identity de Naoko Hosokawa.
Ça parle des mots importés des langues étrangères en japonais et puisque ce débat est un marronnier en France ça va être intéressant d'avoir un point de vue sensiblement différent (post colonial & depuis une langue pas indo-européenne).

#Linguistics #Grammaticality #LoanWords

Question for my fellow linguists, boost welcomed

Are loan-words considered grammaticals ?

Ex: parking, design (grammatical in english) > parking, design (ungrammatical in french ?)

I love how the logo of the recent Manila Spanish Film Festival organized by the #InstitutoCervantes leans into how #Tagalog has nearly ⅓ of its vocabulary coming from Spanish, including the key word “pelikula” from “película”. Even the other “film” loanword “sine” comes from “cine”. (Interestingly, the word “sinehan”, for “theater” or “movie house”, combines the Spanish loanword with the locative Tagalog suffix “-an”.)
