- Abstract
Borrowed word is the product of a process of language development and cultural exposure. French borrowed words appear quite a lot in English and in Vietnamese. In this article, I will briefly study and compare French borrowed words in both English and Vietnamese vocabulary. In the first part, the article studies the history of French borrowed words in Vietnamese and in English, and in the latter sections, I will focus on studying borrowed word forms on the basis of dictionary research. Then, this article points out the importance of borrowed word learning for EFL (English as a Foreign Language) learners, especially Vietnamese ones, and gives some tips for learning borrowed words.
