The use of foreign words is seen as a phenomenon whose milestone is inserted within the history of composition of a certain language and reaches any coexistence. Grounded by the principles and presuppositions of Lexicology, and guided by a general objective to try to understand the strategies adopted by users of the Brazilian Portuguese language in the process of transference of foreign words in linguistic loans the investigative route is guided by three different focuses. One of them emphasizes the cultural and historical point of view, giving importance to different contexts of human social formations, in the flow of their constructions, in order to place in them the composition of the Brazilian Portuguese language as a product of contact between different peoples, users of different languages; another one, broader, concerns social, historical and cultural contexts that comprise human social formations supported by the development of technologies; and the last one is limited to linguistic studies that mainly focus on the lexical, aiming at determining the strategies implied in the process of nationalization of foreign words that, in the current coexistence, were or are being incorporated into the Brazilian Portuguese language vocabulary. The methodological procedure implied the selection and analysis of a corpus, in order to provide examples, comprised of words from the English language, selected from different semantic fields, in order to focus on the transference processes of foreign words in lexical loans, paying special attention to the comparison with the foundation milestone of the categories: projection, transfer and identity: those that ensure, by analogical principles, identify the non familiar by the familiar . It is important to notice that, for the analyses, the words and their respective contents were considered in their phonological, morphosyntatic and semantic dimensions. The results obtained show that the acquisition and use of new words, as well as of a foreign language, never take place in an isolated manner, but in the flow of speech and is grounded on the previous knowledge of the speaker. Therefore, the use of foreign words requires from the user who does not speak the English language a greater effort of interpretation and comprehension, even when the cultural repertoire of the English language is used in sentences structured by phrasal categories of the Portuguese language. It was also noticed that the words become Portuguese words in the phonetic point of view and, when integrated into the vocabulary system, become productive in a way that the new lexical matrix begins to support the product of new vocabulary forms; therefore, the loans are explained by the lexical productivity / Esta Dissertação situa-se na linha de pesquisa História e Descrição da Língua Portuguesa, do Programa de Estudos Pós-Graduados em Língua Portuguesa da Pontifícia Universidade Católica de São Paulo e compreende uma investigação exploratória, cujo objeto de estudo está circunscrito aos estrangeirismos presentificados no idioma português-brasileiro. Postula-se o uso de estrangeirismo como um fenômeno cujo marco se inscreve na própria história da formação de um dado idioma e se estende a qualquer contemporaneidade. Fundamentado pelos princípios e pressupostos da Lexicologia, e norteado por um objetivo geral buscar compreender as estratégias empregadas pelos usuários do idioma português-brasileiro nos processos de transmudação dos estrangeirismos em empréstimos lingüísticos o percurso investigativo está traçado por três focalizações. Uma que privilegia o ponto de vista histórico-cultural, atribuindo relevo a diferentes contextos das formações sociais humanas, no fluxo de suas construções, para neles situar a formação do idioma português-brasileiro como um produto de contato entre diferentes povos, usuários de línguas diferentes; outra mais ampla referente a contextos sócio-histórico-culturais que configuram formações sociais humanas que têm por suporte o desenvolvimento de tecnologias; e uma última circunscrita aos quadros dos estudos lingüísticos que privilegiam o léxico, com vistas a verificar quais são as estratégias implicadas no processo de nacionalização de vocábulos estrangeiros que, na atual contemporaneidade, foram ou estão sendo incorporados ao vocabulário do idioma português-brasileiro. O procedimento metodológico implicou a seleção e análise de um corpus, a título de exemplificação, composto de palavras do idioma inglês, selecionadas a partir de diferentes campos semânticos, no qual se busca focalizar os processos de transmudação de estrangeirismos em empréstimos lexicais, privilegiando a comparação com o marco fundador das categorias: projeção, transferência e identidade: aquelas que asseguram, por princípios analógicos, identificar o não familiar pelo familiar . Ressalta-se que, para as análises, as formas vocabulares e seus respectivos conteúdos foram considerados em sua dimensão fonológica, morfossintática e semântica. Os resultados obtidos indicam que a aquisição e uso de novos vocábulos, bem como de uma língua estrangeira, nunca ocorrem de forma isolada, e sim no fluxo da discursivização e têm por ancoragem os conhecimentos prévios do falante. De forma que, a utilização de palavras estrangeiras exige do usuário não falante do idioma inglês um maior esforço de interpretação e de compreensão mesmo quando o repertório cultural da língua inglesa é empregado em enunciados estruturados pelas categorias frasais da língua portuguesa. Constatou-se, ainda, que os vocábulos são aportuguesados pelo ponto de vista fonético e, quando integrados ao sistema vocabular, se tornam produtivos de forma que a nova matriz lexical passa a sustentar a produção de novas formas vocabulares; portanto os empréstimos são explicados pela produtividade lexical

The diachronic view what was the development of French loan words in the Italian language is the main subject of this thesis and it´s focused on all French loan words in the Italian language with first occurrences documented from the 12th century to the beginning of the 20th century. The thesis is divided in two parts. The firts one is comprised of the theoretical introduction to the language contact that results in the possibility of language enriching by foreign language material that loan words should also be. The next chapter deals with the comprehensive overview of all French loan words from their first documented occurrances in the Italian language to the beginning of the 20th century. All the chapter is focused on the information providing the language contact between both languages, French and Italian one. In the second part, there are analysis of limited number of loan words because of high total sum of all occurrences so the final number of analised loan words is reduced and delimited by the 19th century. All these selected French loan words are analyzed according to various criterions that are for example the classification in word classes or the classification of adaptation. Finally, the occurences of selected loan words are analysed in detail comparing occurrances extracted from two different Italian corpuses. To outline a diachronic perspective on the language contact between the French and Italian language since teh first loan words documented in the Italian language to the beginning of the 20th century is the aim of this thesis. The other aim is to confirm the theoretical assumption that completely adapted lexical loan words predominate what is given by the character of the analysed sample, all done on the basis on detailed analysis.
