BORROWED VOCABULARY FROM ENGLISH IN THAI LANGUAGE

  • Nguyễn Tương Lai

Abstract

The article raised a point where Thai people borrowed English words in order to enrich their speaking vocabulary. Through this borrowing process, Thai people created many kinds of borrowing methods and rules, from simply depicting to diversed phonetic, vocabulary and dictation methods. Being a  monosyllabic language influenced by inflectional Pali -Sanskrit language, the modern Thai language tends to replace English words by Thai Pali -Sanskrit words. However, Thai scholars today still interject English words into Thai speaking language. Especially, although Thai people use a lot of English words, they still express these words in Thai writing
