- Abstract
The paper presents the results of experimental method further compared with the information depicted in the dictionaries to account for the linguistic and socio-linguistic profile of English borrowings in Russian. The case of four borrowed words suggests that natural ethnical, social and cultural differences incorporated in their semantics are leveling due to the changing societal attitudes towards the elements of the western culture.
