概要 | When loanword descriptions in Japanese-English dictionaries are compared with corpus-derived lexical profiles of their collocational and grammatical behaviour, important differences becomes apparent. In the face of the wealth of corpus data about the loanwords that can be generated rapidly and presented systematically by modern corpus software tools, lexicographic descriptions in dictionaries seem minimal and unstructured. In particular, corpus data on individual loanwords can be combined into a systematic analysis of groups of loanwords, in order to see if any patterns emerge in relation to their behaviour in the language. This study looks at the kind of analyses that can be made of English loanwords in Japanese using corpus data, compared with the available descriptions in popular Japanese-English dictionaries. It raises the questions of whether or not these dictionaries are fit-for-purpose in describing the loanwords. |
