In our hypothesis, we defend the existence of changes in the loans that come into Portuguese from the Bantu languages. In this chapter -we present the theories on linguistic borrowing in the following aspects: typology, usage strategies, morpho-syntactic integration, grammatical categorization, inflection and the defining criteria of its integration in the target language. methodology used for the investigation, namely, the one related to the sources, collection and selection of data, as well as the analysis model to which the sample data were submitted.
