Publication at Faculty of Arts |

Abstract

This chapter focuses on the loanwords in the work of Mongolian poet and prose writer, one of the founders of the modern Mongolian literature D. Natsagdorj (1906-1937) in terms of their use and orthography.

Although greatly inspired by the traditional Mongolian language and literature D. Natsagdorj's works are distinguished for their innovativeness and experimentation given to his acquaintance with the Western literature.

The loanwords are used as ingenious means of literary portrayal, but provide the authentic example of the language spoken in the beginning of the 20th century.
