Title Lexical and semantic borrowing in a bilingual dictionary
Abstract The paper starts out with a look at various strategies for dealing with lack of interlingual equivalence in a bilingual dictionary, and subsequently concentrates on one of those strategies, namely, sanctioning a borrowing from the source into the target language. As an illustration, some relevant cases from the author's experience as editor of English-Polish dictionaries are discussed. An attempt is made to highlight the factors which influence decisions about the (non)acceptance of borrowings as translation equivalents.
