English in Japanese

A continuation of the author's book, "English Loanwords in Japanese: A Selection" (1979). But this volume has more emphasis on the differences between English loanwords in Japanese and the original English words. Also deals with many more pseudo-loans, i.e. made-in-Japan "English" words. The book also offers sample sentences that include loanwords. Only loanwords of English origin are discussed. Words derived form French and German, for example, were excluded except for a few hybrids, i.e. compound words that are half English and half French or German. The Japanese have borrowed English words or created new pseudo-loans with tremendous vigor.Miura, Akira is the author of 'English in Japanese' with ISBN 9784896847017 and ISBN 4896847016.
