Summary/Abstract: The author’s aim is to draw attention to this implicit way of borrowings from English into Russian. After a brief introduction to modem loan-translation research (the notion of substitution and its verification), she proposes to explain this kind of lexical process with a great number of examples arranged according to J. Obara’s typology (first published in 1989).
