Novice Japanese speakers of English as a foreign language are often stereotyped, fairly or unfairly, as speaking in what might be described askana-speak, that is, English spoken as if written in the Japanese hiragana/katakana syllabary.lIn fact, many EFL texts designed for the Japanese market provide katakana transliterations for English words and phrases. For example, ‘What is that thing?’ might be rendered as ‘What-o iz-u zat-o shing-u?’ One specific feature of this style of speech, that of adding vowels to word-final consonants, will be referred to in this paper asvowel-marking. Extract 1 below contains eight instances of vowel-marking.
