Abstract

The article considers the impact of Finnish on the vocabulary of Finland Swedish. In the course of research we studied 748 words from the dictionary of modern Fenno-Swedish Finlandssvensk ordbok (2010), which includes about 2550 entry words in total. It is possible to distinguish seven patterns of Finnish lexical influence: calquing of Finnish composites (they amount to 64%), semantic borrowing (16%), introduction of loan-words with morphophonemic adaptation (2,3%), introduction of those without any adaptation (6,9%), conservation of archaic words (2,8%), and borrowing of word-formation patterns (4,8%). Furthermore, the article describes the case of hybrid words, which are two-component composites formed with the help of Finnish and Swedish stems. Semantically, the lexical material under study shows that the Swedish language is borrowing many words denoting Finnish realia and also colloquial vocabulary. In general, the degree of Finnish influence on Fenno-Swedish is high; however, Finnish influence occurs according to the patterns which are not new or foreign to the Swedish language.
