French Loanwords in Canadian English: A Usage-Based Approach by Julie Rouaud

“…More traditional treatments of loanwords in terms of zero semantic extension, restriction or expansion of meaning (Filipovic 1968) soon find their limits and fail to offer a more comprehensive treatment of semantic change for the whole lexicon, since both the native lexicon and borrowings seem to follow similar paths in their semantic evolutions. The mechanisms of narrowing and broadening of meaning operating in lexical pragmatics for the native lexicon are the same as for loanwords once they have been integrated in the recipient language. …”
