After having contextualized Corsican in the Italo-Romanic language group and then the break caused by imposing French on the island population, we propose a reflection on the integration of scholarly borrowings in the Corsican lexical heritage. The enrichment of the lexicon by borrowings from Greek and Latin is then examined in the light of a few examples that reflect the difficulties linked to the distance from Italian and the break in linguistic transmission.
