Loanwords in Japanese is the first monograph in a Western language to offer a systematic and coherent overview of the vast number of words borrowed into Japanese since the mid-16th century and will be of interest to a wide range of researchers, scholars and students of the Japanese language. Its publication is also timely given the fact the loanword stratum's exponential 20th and 21st century growth has given rise to a number of recent Japanese government publications seeking, ? l'Acad?mie fran?aise, to outlaw foreign vocabulary or, at the very least, offer native translations. Beginning with a history of loanwords, chapters cover loanword phonology, loanword morphology, loanword orthography and official and public attitudes to Japanese loanwords.
