COLLOQUIALISMS-BORROWINGS IN GERMAN IN THE PERIOD OF THE END OF THE XX - BEGINNING OF THE XXI CENTURIES
The article discusses the borrowings used in German colloquial speech, based on the material of the German-Russian dictionary of colloquial vocabulary by V.D. Devkin (1994) and the OWID Dictionary of Neologisms (IDS Mannheim). As a result of the study, the authors conclude that colloquial borrowings are not typical for colloquial speech. Most of the colloquialisms-borrowings are assimilated words of Latin origin, borrowed earlier by gallicisms. In colloquial modern German borrowings from the English language are mainly used. Colloquialisms-borrowings serve to attract attention and are an expression of the human need for unusual, flexible, as well as ironic and playful nominations.
