The Comparison of Loanwords from Romani to Be Found in Non-Standard Hungarian, Spanish, Czech and Romanian
2015
Abstract
The paper outlines problems one faces when studying loanwords from Romani (called Romisms). It provides a brief overview of the history of their incorporation.
The main objective of the paper is to define fundamental common nodal points (or elementary differences) in penetrating of loanwords from Romani into non-standard varieties of several European languages. It especially focuses on European Spanish and Hungarian (in a lesser extent, there are also examples from Czech and Romanian).
It is based on my field research conducted in Spain and in Hungary.
