  • Descrição: In this article I analyze techniques for how Georgian accommodates English loan verbs. The major role is played by preverbs, in particular, the preverb da-, which itself occupies a special role in the system of Georgian preverbs due to its high degree of grammaticalization. This technique, the use of preverb da-, is compared to the strategy Georgian employed to accommodate Russian verbs in the beginning of Georgian–Russian language contact. It seems that the use of da- does not fit into the four major types of the typology of verbal borrowings of Wohlgemuth [Wohlgemuth, Jan, 2009. A Typology of Verbal Borrowings. Trends in Linguistics. Studies and Monographs 211 [TiLSM]. Mouton de Gruyter, Berlin, New York.] and, thus, falls into the unclassified “other types” category. At the end of the article, I indicate future research topics, among which is the study of highly grammaticalized morphemes as a possible systematic subcategory in the “other” class of the typology of verbal borrowings. •The study shows how Georgian accommodates loan verbs from English and compares the technique to the techniques used in Georgian–Russian language contact.•This is one of few studies which considers English–Georgian language contact.•The study documents the use of a preverb as a loan verb accommodation tool, a device that has not been previously studied within the typology of verbal borrowings.•The study suggests to consider loan verb accommodating preverbs as a possible systematic subcategory in the “other” class of the typology of verbal borrowings.
