| Abstract: |
This study examines loanwords/phrases (PhBWs) in Armenian, focusing on Khachatur Abovyan’s works and pedagogical challenges in multilingual education. Etymological, corpus-based, and comparative analyses highlight historical/sociocultural borrowing dynamics from Persian, Turkic, and Russian. While enriching the lexicon, the complexity of PhBWs poses understanding and teaching difficulties. Generational surveys (N=20) reveal significant disparities: younger generations (70%) show higher comprehension of PhBWs and modern phrases with foreignisms (PhCFs) compared to older groups (20%). The study underscores the need for systematic teaching methodologies that incorporate cultural and historical contexts. Such approaches would enhance the accessibility of classical literature while preserving linguistic authenticity. Practical strategies like visual modeling, scenario-based tasks, and discussions are proposed. Findings emphasize balancing language modernization and heritage preservation, offering insights relevant to other multilingual educational systems. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
