4 Russian’s influence on Chechen lexicon
As everyone knows, vocabulary is the most easily transmitted part of language. Studying it allows us to quantify the amount of borrowing and identify loan words’ origins. It also shows us the extent to which such words are integrated into the language, as well as semantic evolution.
Few words were borrowed before 1917, only about 100 terms (Soltachanov 2009: 37), borrowed from the Cossacks, and used to designate aspects of their new reality. These words were totally assimilated into the Chechen system.
