In this chapter I have made a systematic corpus-based study to show how the vocabulary of modern Bengali language is full of a large number of new English words and terms that have recently crept into the Bengali vocabulary to make room for new concepts, items, and ideas. This study can also show that these newly borrowed words and terms have made exiting equivalent words and terms of Bengali functionally redundant. I have made an empirical attempt to explore how the vocabulary of the present Bengali language is undergoing linguistic metamorphosis at the lexical level by drawing heavily from the English vocabulary as a result of several linguistic and extralinguistic factors, and how new English general words, as well as scientific and technical terms, are being incorporated into the Bengali language through various methods of naturalization.
