English Loan Words In Japanese: Exploring Comprehension And Register, Naoko Horikawa
Dissertations and Theses

As Japan is expected to soon enter the era of an aging society, the issue of ELW comprehension is likely to present serious social and personal problems. The purpose of this study was to identify the current state of frequently used ELWs in contemporary written …
