Structural Borrowing

Structural Borrowing is a linguistic phenomenon in the domain of language contact whereby grammatical features, such as syntax, morphology, or phonology, are transferred from one language to another through sustained dialect or language interaction, distinguishing it from lexical borrowing by involving abstract systemic elements rather than vocabulary.
