Explanations of how loanwords are adapted and integrated in the recipient language center mainly on phonological and morphological accounts. There are various factors that mediate the adaptation process and worth further investigation.

A study was conducted on 13 Arabs bilingual in English to examine the roles of orthography on loanwords adaptation by bilinguals. The results revealed a…
