日本人通常被认为是排外的和种族中心主义的，然而仔细研究他们的语言和文化历史就会发现一幅非常不同的图景：尽管他们基本上是一个只有一种语言的语言社区，但他们作为一个至少2000年来受到其他语言和文化的显著影响的民族出现了。在这项主要是社会语言学的研究中，洛夫戴教授采取了折中的方法，借鉴了语言学的其他子领域的见解，如比较和历史语言学和文体学，以及其他一些学科-文化人类学、社会心理学和符号学。Loveday教授特别关注汉语和英语对日语的影响，以及这些语言的成分在融入日语时是如何修改的，他提供了一个理解跨时间和空间的语言接触行为的一般模式。这项研究将对那些在语言接触行为中寻找跨文化共性的人以及那些对日本案例特别感兴趣的人有价值。
The Japanese are often characterized as exclusive and ethnocentric, yet a close examination of their linguistic and cultural history reveals a very different picture: although theirs is essentially a monolingual speech community they emerge as a people who have been significantly influenced by other languages and cultures for at least 2000 years. In this primarily sociolinguistic study Professor Loveday takes an eclectic approach, drawing on insights from other subfields of linguistics such as comparative and historical linguistics and stylistics, and from a number of other disciplines - cultural anthropology, social psychology and semiotics. Focusing in particular on the influence of Chinese and English on Japanese, and on how elements from these languages are modified when they are incorporated into Japanese, Professor Loveday offers a general model for understanding language contact behaviour across time and space. The study will be of value to those in search of cross-cultural universals in language contact behaviour, as well as to those with a particular interest in the Japanese case.
