What Is A Calque (loan Translation) In Language? - Lexicon Lounge

Описание: What Is A Calque (loan Translation) In Language? Have you ever wondered how languages borrow and adapt words or expressions from each other? In this informative video, we'll explore the concept of calques, also known as loan translations, and how they shape the way we communicate across languages. We'll start by explaining what a calque is and how it differs from other types of language borrowing. You'll learn how calques are formed by translating each part of a foreign phrase into native words, creating expressions that fit naturally into the target language. We’ll also discuss examples like "Adam’s apple" and "biergarten," illustrating how these phrases are built from familiar components rather than foreign sounds. Additionally, we'll cover the two main types of calques: lexical and structural, showing how they influence vocabulary and grammar. Understanding calques helps us see how languages evolve through cultural exchange and technological progress, often adding new expressions without importing foreign pronunciation or spelling. Whether you're interested in language learning, linguistics, or translation, this video offers clear explanations to deepen your understanding of how languages adapt and grow.
