| Details | The jpTenTen11 corpus allows English loanwords in Japanese to be explored in intricate detail. However, the massive number of concordance lines returned for a single search presents issues in the effective summarisation of the data. This presentation reports on the visualisation of the corpus data in order to investigate the tendencies and patterns in the grammatical behaviour of the most frequent English loanwords in Japanese. Corpus query tools (Sketch Engine) and data visualisation software (Tableau) were used to visualise dominant grammatical relationships (gramrels) of over 700 loanwords, revealing insights of significance to Japanese-English language education. |
