Talk:loan coinage

Incomprehensible definition

I have no idea what the definition means. Can it be re-worded or explained? ThornyHemlock (talk) 14:30, 23 April 2023 (UTC)

@ThornyHemlock: Actually I wanted someone to make a graph at some point. Like in this classification sheet. loan formation corresponds to both Lehnbildung and Lehnformung in it (as said there, usage varies). You see how loan coinage serves as a hypernym of loan creation in the broader sense – i.e. Lehnbildung – (and loan meanings on the other hand), itself as a loan contradistinguished from a borrowing-in-shape (importation). So these difficult terms all answer the question in which fashion a language or idiolect rewrites the code of another language as distinguished from importing it as a library, to speak in programming terms.
