Loanwords and Japanese Identity: Inundating or Absorbed? provides
an in-depth examination of public discussions on lexical borrowing
in the Japanese language. The main objective of this book is to
explore the relationship between language and identity through an
analysis of public attitudes towards foreign loanwords in
contemporary Japanese society. In particular, the book uncovers the
process by which language is conceived of as a symbol of national
identity by examining an animated newspaper controversy over the
use of foreign loanwords. The book concludes that the fierce debate
over the use of loanwords can be understood as a particular
manifestation of the ongoing (re-)negotiation of Japanese national
identity. This book will appeal to scholars and students in
sociolinguistics, translation studies, and discourse analysis,
while its cultural and geographic focus will attract readers in
Japanese studies and East Asian studies.
