English-based Mandarin loanwords are commonly used in Chinese
people's daily lives. Mandarin Loanwords demonstrates how English
phonemes map into Mandarin phonemes through Mandarin loanwords
adaptation. The consonantal adaptations are the most important in
the analyses, and vowel adaptation and tonal adaptation is also
considered. Through the analysis, it is proven that the functions
of phonology and phonetics play a significant role in Mandarin
loanword adaptation, however the functions of other factors, such
as semantic functions of Chinese characters and English
orthography, are also discussed. Additionally, the phonetic
symbolization of Chinese characters is mentioned.
