Abstract
In the long process of social development, countries, regions, and ethnic groups may spontaneously or involuntarily borrow foreign words in the process of communication and collision due to practical needs such as political and economic system reform, scientific and technological development, trade exchanges, or external environmental changes. Sociolinguistics is an important means of studying the characteristics and development process of foreign vocabulary. This article employs theoretical analysis approaches to further investigate Russian loanwords within the context of established sociolinguistic theories and loanword expression theories. Through a comprehensive analysis of synchronicity and diachronicity, we can better understand the borrowing, use, and development process of loanwords in Russian. The research findings demonstrate that the incorporation of loanwords occurs unevenly across all stages of social development and sectors of society within the same timeframe, highlighting their significant influence on language and culture.
