The study discusses how the modernization of the Japanese lexicon
has been helped, and in some cases, hindered, by the influence of foreign
loanwords or gairaigo. The subject of gairaigo's influence on Japanese
has not been investigated in a systematic manner and according to
modern linguistic principles and procedures. As such this study hopes
to contribute in some measure to an understanding of the nature of that
contact. The main purpose of this study is to examine the linguistic
processes, namely phonological and morphological processes, by which
English has influenced the lexical expansions of the Japanese language
and to investigate the integration of borrowed innovations and their
impact on the structure of Japanese.
