Comfort zone: morphological and phonetic-graphic adaptation of Latin borrowings in Russian economic terminology

this article presents a detailed analysis of Latinisms in Russian economic terminology, focusing on phonetic-graphic and morphological adaptation. Utilizing methods of corpus and structural analysis, case studies, as well as percentage and quantitative counting, the study identifies 14 productive phonetic-graphic processes and 8 morphological processes of adaptation. Special attention is given to changes in stress, syllable reduction, substitution of sounds, letters and suffixes. The results show that less than 5% of Latinisms retain minimal changes during adaptation. The conclusion confirms the hypothesis that the adaptation of Latinisms is driven by the recipient language's desire to maintain forms that are comfortable for perception, leading to the formation of a complex system of adaptations in economic terminology.
