III. Borrowings of the International words
It is important to note that international words are mainly borrowings. The outward similarity of such words as the Eng. Son, the Germ. Sohn and the Ukr. син should not lead one to the quite false conclusion that they are international words. They represent the Indo-European group of the native element in each respective language and are cognates , i.e. words of the same etymological root, and not borrowings.
The English vocabulary penetrates into other languages. We find numerous English words in the field of sport: football, out, match, tennis, volley-ball, baseball, hockey, cricket, rugby, tennis, golf, time, etc.
A large number of English words are to be found in the vocabulary pertaining to clothes: jersey, pullover, sweater, nylon, tweed, etc. Cinema and different forms of entertainment are also a source of many international words of English origin: film, club, cocktail, jazz.
At least some of the Russian words borrowed into English and many other languages and thus international should also be mentioned: balalaika, Bolshevik, cosmonaut, czar, intelligentsia, Kremlin, mammoth, rouble, sambo, soviet, sputnik, steppe, vodka.
Fruits and foodstuffs imported from exotic countries often transport their names too and, being simultaneously imported to many countries, become international: coffee, cocoa, chocolate, coca – cola, banana, mango, avocado, grapefruit.
