part of the speakers’ world, most of the loanwords that are still used nowadays belong to a category of rare usage, probably as a consequence of the predominance of the semantic field of sciences that points at their usage in specialised contexts. To summarise, the Latin language has been an enormous source of borrowing for the English language throughout history, with the higher records of Latin borrowings taking place in the Modern English period, this process signifying both a great enrichment of the English vocabulary and the preservation of Latin words in the living vocabulary of a language. 5.2. Future research Thanks to this study, I acquired many competences that fomented my interest on the chosen subject. Not only do I know now more about the history of the English language as a whole, but I also developed a good command of the OED webpage, as a result of the 57 advanced research I had to carry out, and the Microsoft Excel files, which were really useful for a clearer and more organised classification. Since it was not possible to provide a complete account of the Latin influence on the Modern English period in this dissertation, I would consider as an interesting option for future studies the expansion of this research to other kinds of lexical borrowing, and even to other types of borrowing other than lexical, with the aim of obtaining more faithful results on the influence that the Latin language exerted over Modern English. 58 References Adamson, Sylvia. 1999.
