In The Dutch Language in Japan (1600-1900) Christopher Joby offers
the first book-length account of the knowledge and use of the Dutch
language in Tokugawa and Meiji Japan. For most of this period, the
Dutch were the only Europeans permitted to trade with Japan. Using
the analytical tool of language process, this book explores the
nature and consequences of contact between Dutch and Japanese and
other language varieties. The processes analysed include language
learning, contact and competition, code switching, translation,
lexical, syntactic and graphic interference, and language shift.
The picture that emerges is that the multifarious uses of Dutch,
especially the translation of Dutch books, would have a profound
effect on the language, society, culture and intellectual life of
Japan.
