    English has been successfully promoted, and has been eagerly adopted in the global linguistic marketplace. One symptom of the impact of English is linguistic【C1】________. English intrudes on all the languages that it comes into contact with. The technical terms "borrowing" and "loan words," as Calvet has indicated long before, are【C2】________. since speakers of a language who borrow words from another have no intention of returning anything. The transaction is purely【C3】________. and reflects the desirability of the product to the consumer. The only constraint on use is understandability—though states may【C4】________ to ban certain foreign forms and implement measures to devise new indigenous words and expressions. Borrowing is a phenomenon that has【C5】________ users of other languages for more than a century. It has also generated an extensive literature on linguistic borrowing from English. British English【C6】________ a large number of words of American origin, often without the source being noticed. Many languages borrow gastronomic and haute couture terms from French; in the same way, there is a carry-over from the use of English in many of the domains listed above into the【C7】________ of other languages. The English linguistic invasion has been so【C8】________ that some governments, representing both small linguistic communities, for instance Slovenia and large ones, for instance France, have adopted measures to【C9】________ the tide and shore up their own languages, particularly in the area of neologisms for technical concepts. Such measures, which are likely to be only partially successful, reflect an anxiety that essential cultural and linguistic values are【C10】________. [br] 【C2】
选项
答案 C
解析 空格前的are提示空格处应填入形容词或动词分词。borrow和loan都隐含了将来“归还”的因素，空格后却提到“语言上的借词却无法归还”，因此使用这两个术语是有误导性的(misleading)。
