The article examines exotic vocabulary as a distinct layer of borrowed words within the linguistic system. It explores the nature of
exoticisms, their origins, functional and semantic characteristics, and their role in representing national and cultural specificity.
Special attention is given to distinguishing exoticisms from related notions such as barbarisms, orientalism, and ethnographic terms,
as well as to identifying their defining features. The study also analyzes key approaches to the classification of exotic vocabulary
based on the degree of assimilation and thematic grouping.
