ABSTRACT

The study addresses factors involved in assimilating new and reintroduced words into a language. The factors semantic transparency and frequency of occurrence of new and reintroduced words in an area of life to which they belonged were examined first. It was found that speakers do no employ new and reintroduced words with semantic transparency and new and reintroduced words from certain areas of life do not appear in texts or conversations from those same life areas. Consequently, the research direction changed. Firstly, the research proposes a separation between language of communication and the language of culture. In addition, the research relates to speakers as a whole and to language multidimensionality to assess whether these factors are involved in the assimilation of words from the language of culture into modernization. The researcher examined whether the education system can influence such a change.
