Mixed-methods approach reveals noun adaptation patterns in Kazakh social media, indicating assimilation of foreign terms.
<ns0:p>The present research paper examines the common patterns in the adaptation process of the nouns borrowed into the Kazakh language in a social media context. The study was conducted using the mixed-methods approach to analyse a sample of borrowed nouns retrieved from WhatsApp, Telegram, Instagram, and YouTube. The results indicate that foreign nouns fully adopt the native Kazakh rules of noun declension, with minor exceptions. Moreover, it was found that the declension by number shows the highest degree of borrowings assimilation. Those findings contribute to the overall research on the specificities of borrowings in Kazakh. They may also be beneficial for the Kazakh language education.</ns0:p>
