Annotation
This paper displays how Georgian fits in loan verbs from English and collates the method to the methods employed in Georgian–Russian language contact.
This is one of little inquiries which reflects on English–Georgian language contact.
The paper records the use of a preverb as a loan verb accommodation tool, a tactic that has not been formerly examined within verbal borrowings' typology. The paper
proposes to regard loan verb accommodating preverbs as a potential systematic subcategory in the “other” class of verbal borrowings' typology.
