Lexical Analysis of English Borrowings in Balochi Text ‘Trangani Bunzeh’ By Saba Dashtiari

Abstract

The goal of the research, "Lexical Analysis of English Borrowings in Balochi Language," was to close the theoretical divide between English borrowing and linguistic contact in Pakistan's regional languages. The purposes and varieties of English borrowings in the Balochi language. The nature of the investigation was qualitative. In order to examine English borrowings in the text, sixteen short stories by a well-known Balochi author Saba Dashtyari were purposefully chosen as a sample. Students at the BS level are taught the short tales chosen for analysis as part of the Balochi course curriculum. Thematic analysis was used to examine the texts. After the chosen publications were analyzed, over 65 instances of borrowed English terminology were found. It was discovered that the bulk of the imported terms (20%) had Balochi counterparts. Merely 80% of the terms were found to have no counterpart in the Balochi language. The study's conclusions also made clear that borrowed terms were accepted in a variety of real-world contexts, such as politics, sports, education, science and technology, and medical. This suggests that English has had a significant effect on Balochi language and literature. The study's conclusions have consequences for educators and legislators who create the Balochi courses that are taught at the college and university levels. The research came to the conclusion that by describing how borrowing might impact local languages, authors, students, and speakers of those languages can all learn about various facets of borrowing.
