Borrowing is a typical term used for the process by which a language or variety receives material from other variety typically called “supporter language”. Borrowing does not mean to focus on the rented words but it also focuses on the other borrowed features of the language i.e. phonemes, morphemes and syntactic features. In addition, it is a traditional term having universally significance. Lexical borrowing is a process through which one language adopts the individual words. Furthermore, when two languages come into contact with each other and one language picks the lexical items from the other language however, the language which receives the words is called “recipient language”, and on the other hand, the language who shares the words is called “donor language”. This article presents a case study of lexical borrowing in the light of two national newspapers of Pakistan “Daily Dawn” and “The Nation”.
