Аннотация:
This article explores the influence of French loanwords on the English language, focusing on their historical development, areas of usage, and impact on modern English vocabulary. The borrowing of French words began primarily with the Norman Conquest in 1066 and continues today, enriching English with terms related to law, government, cuisine, fashion, and art. We examine specific examples, reasons for borrowing, sociolinguistic consequences, and linguistic adaptation mechanisms. The article also highlights how French has helped shape the register, nuance, and sophistication of English expression.
