摘要：由于英国和美国经济、政治和文化的影响，以及英语作为国际语言的出现，许多世界语言都吸收了英语中的外来词，特别是在世纪。日语中有数千种这样的借词，其中许多是公认的，并被普遍使用。一个国内的语音脚本是既代表和区分非母语的声音。本文概述了英语借词进入日语的历史和文化背景，英语借词的本土化过程，以及英语借词的功能。对外来词的拼写、语音、形态、语义和句法的修改有助于它们被母语同化。然而，语言和文化的借用在某种程度上与母语和文化保持分离，导致日本人的生活和语言中的日本/西方二分法。
ABSTRACT: As a result of the economic, political and cultural influence of Britain and the US, and the emergence of English as an international language, many world languages have absorbed loanwords from English, especially during the twentieth century. Japanese contains thousands of such borrowings, many of which are well-established and in universal use. A domestic phonetic script is available to both represent and distinguish non-native sounds. This paper outlines the historical and cultural contexts of borrowing from English into Japanese, processes of nativization, and functions served by English loanwords. Orthographical, phonological, morphological, semantic and syntactic modifications to borrowed words aid their assimilation into the native language. However, linguistic and cultural borrowing is to some extent kept separate from native language and culture, resulting in a Japanese/Western dichotomy in Japanese life and language.
