metadata.value: The present article discusses the key orthographic and morphological modifications that Anglicisms
  and Gallicisms undergo beyond their adaptation in various Arabic vernaculars. At
  the level of orthography, the spelling of words with a two-consonant beginning, compound
  nouns and abbreviations is analyzed. The range of analyzed morphological categories includes
  gender and number for nouns, voice and mood for verbs. The need for a study is due to insufficient information about the above aspects of the adaptation of borrowings in Arabic dialects.
  For a detailed comparative analysis of various approaches to spelling and morphological adaptation,
  the author uses a questionnaire targeted for the dialect speakers. Based on the answers
  of 206 respondents from 18 Arab countries, it is concluded that the loanwords introduced via
  Arabic script preserve the source-language orthography. Borrowed abbreviations in participants’
  answers mostly become acronyms. As for the gender of nouns, the participants tend to
  determine this morphological category relying on semantic analogy and phonetic similarity of
  endings. In matters of plural formation, suffixation remains the most popular way. However,
  in the case of inanimate nouns, up to a third of participants’ responses contain broken plurals.
  An analysis of borrowed verbs showed differences in the approaches of Arabic speakers from
  the Arab West and East in the adaptation of English and French lemmas and their subsequent
  conjugation. This circumstance allows us to conclude that the variability in adaptation is related
  to extralinguistic factors inherent in certain Arabic-speaking communities.
