Lexical borrowing or the creation of new words denoting newly introduced foreign concepts by native lexical means may be purposefully directed by the collective effort of the intellectual circles which can influence language policy (linguists, writers, journalists, pedagogues, scientists etc.). In times of national oppression or social and political isolation, though, the response of a society to lexical borrowing is very often governed by intensified patriotic and nationalist feeling and the effort to preserve the purity of the national language may be unduly exaggerated. The linguistic purism of small nations is, as a rule, more intense than that of the big ones
