Arabic loanwords in French via Spanish as an intermediate language: A semantic analysis

The aim of this article is to examine the way in which, from a semantic point of view, words have passed from language A to language B by transiting through language C, on the model of the assimilation of Arabic words into French through Spanish. We are establishing a systematic classification of transition processes and their adaptation in two different historical-cultural realities (Spain of Al-Andalus and France), with the aim of examining the extent to which these double loanwords have been modified, and possibly altered. Representative examples have been selected to illustrate each process.
