The article is dedicated to the research of Italian terms in the English language.
The author points out that the borrowing of these terms is connected with a number
of extralinguistic and intralinguistic factors and is a result of linguistic interferen-
cia. Sometimes in the borrowing of the “foreign” word a psycholinguistic aspect
plays a role, too. The assimilation of Italian terms by the English language has pos-
itive character, realizes the lexical integration and enriches the inner possibilities
of the English language.
