Abstract

Many authors have examined the influence of loanwords in languages using statistical methods. However, English loanwords in Mongolian are rarely studied in quantitative linguistics. The results of the present study show that English loanwords in Mongolian share the universal feature of other tested languages, as their frequency distribution abides by Zipf’s Law. In addition, we define and test nine English loanword models depending on borrowing method and parts of speech, and find that the results can be described using a power function.

蒙古语中的英语外来词

许多作者用统计方法研究了外来词在语言中的影响。然而，定量语言学对蒙古语英语外来词的研究却很少。研究结果表明，蒙古语中的英语外来词具有其他被测语言的通用性，其频率分布遵循齐夫定律。此外，我们根据借用方式和词类定义和测试了9个英语外来词模型，发现结果可以用幂函数来描述。

期刊介绍： The aim of Glottometrics is quantification, measurement and mathematical modeling of any kind of language phenomena. We invite contributions on probabilistic or other mathematical models (e.g. graph theoretic or optimization approaches) which enable to establish language laws that can be validated by testing statistical hypotheses.
