| الملخص: | This research is an exploratory study which focuses on finding the rationales behind the use of English borrowed words in the latest edition (4th edition) of the Dewan Bahasa dan Pustaka (DBP) Dictionary. To meet the research objectives and answer the research questions, eight respondents were interviewed for their views and opinions. They were English teachers, Bahasa Melayu teachers, a professor and a lexicographer, as well as journalists and an editor. The respondents were chosen due to their knowledge of both languages and their awareness of the trend of using English borrowed words by the Malays. ln addition, the journalists and the editor are among those who are responsible in introducing the loan words to the society through their writings and reports. The respondents were interviewed face-to-face and via Skype. Based on the study, it can he said that perceptions, preciseness of the words, language growth, language and identity, and language and modernization are the major themes that are related to English borrowings. Perceptions of the people on English language and also the Malay language and the preciseness of the words are among the contributing factors of the massive number of new English borrowed words that are found in the latest dictionary of DBP while the growth of Malay language and the changes of the Malays identity are among the results and outcomes of this trend. |
