概要 | This study is a corpus analysis of the grammatical behaviour of frequently-used English loanwords in contemporary Japanese. Framed within a lexico-grammatical view of language, a sample of over 500 English loanwords were analysed within their naturally-occurring linguistic contexts in a large Japanese corpus. A subsequent analysis of the most salient collocates of a sub-sample of the loanwords found that the more strongly a loanword favoured the compound noun grammatical relationship, the more strongly and exclusively it collocated with other loanwords rather than with native and/or Sino-Japanese words. In accounting for this behaviour, these loanwords appear to be ‘non-catachrestic innovations’ (Onysko and Winter-Froemel, 2011), a category of loanwords which are seen to be the pragmatically marked lexical choices in a language. |
