Question

The proscription against using these words in ceremonial Tewa (“TAY-wah”) speech, which is enforced by physical punishment, is analyzed by Paul Kroskrity (“kross-KRIT-ee”) as a mechanism for maintaining highly conventionalized liturgical speech. A five-level scale for what types of words are likely to be used as this kind of word was created by Thomason and Kaufman. Heinrich (-5[1])Hübschmann’s identification of the large number of these words in Armenian allowed him to correct a mistaken classification made by earlier scholars. Words that are [emphasize] unlikely to be (10[1])this kind of word make up the Leipzig‒Jakarta list (10[1])and the Swadesh (10[2])list, (10[1])which consist (10[2])largely (10[2])of core (10[1])vocabulary. (10[1])These words are similar to calques (10[1]-5[1])(“kalks”), except that they do not involve (-5[1])translation. (10[1])For 10 points, (10[1])linguistic purism (10[1]-5[1])often involves opposition (10[1]-5[1])to (10[1])what words exemplified in English by “schadenfreude” and “kimono”? (10[1])■END■ (10[4])

ANSWER: loanwords [or lexical borrowings; or borrowed words; or importations; accept foreignisms or foreign words] (Before Hübschmann, Armenian was wrongly thought to be an Iranian language, but it in fact just has a high proportion of Iranian loanwords.)
