Media Parameters in Assessing the Vulnerability of a National Language to Foreign Borrowings
https://doi.org/10.21603/sibscript-2025-27-4-693-704
Abstract
The influence that a foreign language exercises on a national language can be calculated mathematically. The author developed a special index for assessing the vulnerability of a national language to foreign borrowings to provide the government bodies responsible for the state language policy with scientifically substantiated data. The index consists of three functional groups of parameters: social and value regulation (law, state control, education), media (culture, leisure, information, mass media), and external influence. These parameters cover the areas of public life that legitimize foreign borrowings in the national language. Due to their informative and psychological impact on the population during leisure activities, media parameters seem especially effective in promoting foreign borrowings as they consolidate linguistic behavior patterns in the society. The universal applicability of the media group parameters was verified in a case study of English borrowings in the Indonesian language.
