                  Final test.

                  I. The central problem of lexicology is
                  a) word
                  b) word-group
                  c) sentence
                  d) meaning

                  II. Archaisms are words which:
                  a) ousted some new words.
                  b) are no longer used in everyday speech.
                  c) are used to express unimportance.
                  d) are used instead of new meanings.


                  III. Semantic borrowings are such units when:
                  a) a new meaning of the unit existing in the language is
            borrowed.
                  b) word-for-word         (morpheme-for-morpheme)       is
            translated.
                  c) words are borrowed with their spelling, pronunciation
            and meaning.
                  d) borrowings are fully assimilated in English.

                                                                              73
