| Title | New Book: Japan's Built-in Lexicon of English-based Loanwords |
| Body | From http://www.multilingual-matters.com/multi/display.asp?isb=9781847690302&TAG=&CID= Japan's Built-in Lexicon of English-based Loanwords by Frank E. Daulton Publisher: Multilingual Matters Summary: Japan offers a prime example of lexical borrowing which relates to language transfer in second and foreign language learning. The insights gained by examining language borrowing in Japan can be applied wherever language contact has occurred and foreign languages are learned. Many of the most important English vocabulary may already exist in native lexicons. This book examines Japanese lexical borrowing, clarifies the effect of cognates on foreign language acquisition, assesses Japanese cognates that correspond to high-frequency and academic English, and discusses using this resource in teaching. It includes extensive lists of loanword cognates. Visit the publisher’s website at http://www.multilingual-matters.com/multi/display.asp?isb=9781847690302&TAG=&CID= . |
