Abstract
The article focuses on the sources and processes of borrowing vocabulary in the Chinese and Russian languages of the late XX – early XXI centuries in a comparative aspect, including the dynamics of the functioning of borrowed lexical units. Using national corpora of both languages we compared similar units borrowed by Russian and Chinese languages, analyzing the functioning frequency of these words in the texts of the studied languages.
