Borrowings in Terminology Formation in Firozabad Glass Industry

Hira Dilshad, Ph.D. in Linguistics

Abstract

This paper aims to study the process of Borrowing with respect to the Glass industry of Firozabad, India. Words keep adding to the Lexicon of a language day in and day out. Terms used in various industries form an important part of Lexicon of a Language, hence it is important to consider terms in detail for Phonemic study of a Language. Here, we study terms used in Glass industry in order to identify the terms that have been borrowed from some other language. In last few decades, study of terminology has gained much attention; its relationship with Linguistics has also been appreciated. This paper is a small contribution in this regard. It is useful for both Linguistics and terminology.

Keywords: Glass Industry, Borrowing, Terminology, Word formation, Loanwords, Loan blends.

Introduction

It often happens that speakers of different languages come in contact and interact closely. Naturally, when they come in contact, their languages influence each other. One of the outcomes of this contact is “Borrowing”. When speakers of these languages communicate with one another, they learn some part of the other language, and while learning the language they tend to borrow some words from the other language and use them in their own language. This is how borrowing takes place.

As the world moved towards becoming a global village, a need for a common language arose. English came up as a common language and became lingua franca for the whole world. As the influence of English increased, it led to spread it widely in all the domains. Its spread has influenced business world as well. Even in the areas where English is not a native language, people are using it to brand their products. The same has been found in the case of Glass industry of Firozabad, India. With this work, an attempt has been made to study the borrowed words as found in the Glass industry.
