	LINGUIST List 13.1629: Lexicography: Goerlach (2001)
		During the various stages of integration of English loanwords, the resources of the borrowing language come to the fore in the process in which they are adapted to its morphological and phonological structure.
		The principle allows the inclusion of words which, although clearly derived from English, are not themselves English words, or which are used in a non- English way as a member of a different word class (assembling) or in un-English, compounds (antibaby pill).
		The English etymon, as a headword, is followed by appropriate part-of-speech labels and all the meanings recorded for loanwords in the various languages, which is very important for additional, non-English meanings which a word has acquired in the course of its semantic adaptation.

		The only way to analyse the evolution of Greek until modern times, is to view the language as a whole.
		Some of the changes to the verbs are parallel to those that affected the Romance languages as they developed from Vulgar Latin — for instance the loss of certain historic tense forms and their replacement by new constructions — but the changes to the nouns have been less far-reaching.
		Greek has never experienced the wholesale loss of word-endings and noun cases that has for instance made Spanish, Portuguese, French and Italian separate languages from Latin.
