Download or read book Loanwords in Japanese written by Mark Irwin and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2011-06-16 with total page 298 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 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. Its publication is timely given the fact that the loanword stratum’s recent exponential growth has given rise to recent Japanese government publications seeking 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. The volume will be of interest to a wide range of researchers, scholars and students of the Japanese language.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This dissertation focuses on two issues in loanword phonology: first, how are loanwords represented in the lexicons of L1 speakers; and second, how do loanword adaptation patterns become established in a speech community over time. In examining these questions, I propose a theoretical framework for loanword borrowing in which the nativization of loanwords can take place during either of two processes: the initial adaptation of a new loanword by a borrower, or the transmission of loanwords from speaker to speaker within a social network. Using data from Arakawa's (1977) dictionary of English loanwords in Japanese, I show that historical adaptation patterns are affected not only by native phonological constraints, but also by type frequency and phonological similarity to other loanwords. Non-native phonotactic sequences are more likely to be preserved in more common phonological environments than in less common environments. I present an OT analysis of the historical variation in adaptation conventions, showing that the set of possible adaptations for a loanword can be obtained by reranking loanword-specific faithfulness constraints against a fixed ranking of native markedness constraints. However, this analysis cannot explain the origin of frequency and phonological neighborhood effects on adaptations. To account for these effects, I argue for a model of the lexicon in which lexical entries are organized on the basis of phonological similarity. I then develop a connectionist model of loanword adaptation to show how native constraints interact with type frequency in the adaptation of new loanwords. As for the establishment of adaptation patterns in a speech community, I argue that the transmission of loanwords from one speaker to another plays an important role. Based on recent research on the structure of social networks, I develop an agent-based model of loanword transmission within a network of speakers, showing that in general transmission causes a nonlinear amplification of the effects of nativization at the level of the individual speaker. I apply this model to the attested rates of nativization of various non-native patterns in Japanese loanwords, showing that Japanese speakers before 1890 tended to palatalize coronal stops before /i/ in loanwords at a much greater rate than they nativized other non-native patterns. After 1890, the attested rate of coronal palatalization in new loanwords drops to roughly the same rate as other nativizations. This data suggests that before 1890, coronal palatalization was a categorical process for many Japanese speakers, whereas after 1890, perhaps because of increased Englishlanguage education at this time, /ti/ and /di/ became allowable sequences in loanwords and palatalization became a low-level gradient process occurring during loanword transmission.

This book was released on 2015-03-10 with total page 808 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This volume is the first comprehensive handbook of Japanese phonetics and phonology describing the basic phonetic and phonological structures of modern Japanese with main focus on standard Tokyo Japanese. Its primary goal is to provide a comprehensive overview and descriptive generalizations of major phonetic and phonological phenomena in modern Japanese by reviewing important studies in the fields over the past century. It also presents a summary of interesting questions that remain unsolved in the literature. The volume consists of eighteen chapters in addition to an introduction to the whole volume. In addition to providing descriptive generalizations of empirical phonetic/phonological facts, this volume also aims to give an overview of major phonological theories including, but not restricted to, traditional generative phonology, lexical phonology, prosodic morphology, intonational phonology, and the more recent Optimality Theory. It also touches on theories of speech perception and production. This book serves as a comprehensive guide to Japanese phonetics and phonology for all interested in linguistics and speech sciences.
Download or read book Loan Phonology written by Andrea Calabrese and published by John Benjamins Publishing. This book was released on 2009 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For many different reasons, speakers borrow words from other languages to fill gaps in their own lexical inventory. The past ten years have been characterized by a great interest among phonologists in the issue of how the nativization of loanwords occurs. The general feeling is that loanword nativization provides a direct window for observing how acoustic cues are categorized in terms of the distinctive features relevant to the L1 phonological system as well as for studying L1 phonological processes in action and thus to the true synchronic phonology of L1. The collection of essays presented in this volume provides an overview of the complex issues phonologists face when investigating this phenomenon and, more generally, the ways in which unfamiliar sounds and sound sequences are adapted to converge with the native language s sound pattern. This book is of interest to theoretical phonologists as well as to linguists interested in language contact phenomena."

Download or read book Phonetics and Phonology of Moras Feet and Geminate Consonants in Japanese written by Hiromi Otaka and published by . This book was released on 2009 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a clear account of the temporal organization of Japanese phonology, especially the phonetic and phonological nature of moras, feet, and geminate consonants in Japanese. The topics covered include pre-nasal shortening, Japanese perception of rhymes, the occurrence of geminate consonants in Japanese compounds and English loanwords, sequential voicing called rendaku, and the bilabialization of /h/ in counting words which are preceded by the numerals san (three) and yon (four). The underlying theme is to provide empirical evidence of whether or not the mora controls isochrony in Japanese rhythm by analyzing the results of more than 20 production and perception experiments which were conducted with a total of 960 native Japanese and English speakers. This book is suitable not only for professional linguists, but also for people who are learning Japanese as a foreign language and wish to explore various theoretical issues of Japanese phonology.

This book was released on 2018-04-19 with total page 1146 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The linguistic study of Japanese, with its rich syntactic and phonological structure, complex writing system, and diverse sociohistorical context, is a rapidly growing research area. This book, designed to serve as a concise reference for researchers interested in the Japanese language and in typological studies of language in general, explores diverse characteristics of Japanese that are particularly intriguing when compared with English and other European languages. It pays equal attention to the theoretical aspects and empirical phenomena from theory-neutral perspectives, and presents necessary theoretical terms in clear and easy language. It consists of five thematic parts including sound system and lexicon, grammatical foundation and constructions, and pragmatics/sociolinguistics topics, with chapters that survey critical discussions arising in Japanese linguistics. The Cambridge Handbook of Japanese Linguistics will be welcomed by general linguists, and students and scholars working in linguistic typology, Japanese language, Japanese linguistics and Asian Studies.
