Abstract
The research paper suggests an analysis of the borrowing process in order to determine its role in modern German language. The analysis of a specific linguistic material demonstrates the stability and high frequency of using foreign language vocabulary, which is borrowed into the language together with new concepts. The result of this research is a description of the language trends in the sector of the studied problem range in the focus of the perspective diachrony. The main reasons for borrowing lexems from other languages are described, and popular areas are studied, in which the process of borrowing foreign language vocabulary takes place intensively and is characterized by increased interest of the native speakers of German.
