On the basis of an importation-substitution distinction, Haugen ( 1950 : 214f . ) distinguishes three basic groups of borrowings : ( 1 ) " Loanwords " show morphemic importation without substitution . . . . ( 2 ) " Loanblends " show morphemic substitution as well as importation . . . . ( 3 ) " Loanshifts " show morphemic substitution without importation .
