"Japanese contains thousands of loanwords, many based on the most useful types of English vocabulary. This book examines gairaigo - Western loanwords in Japanese - and its effect on L2 English acquisition. The first part introduces Japanese lexical borrowing while the second part resolves the 'paradox of cognates' and clarifies the effect of gairaigo on English acquisition. The book goes on to assess the loanword cognates in Japanese that correspond to high-frequency and academic English. The fourth part focuses on barriers to utilizing this L1 resource and the epilogue presents general principles and suggestions for using gairaigo in teaching."--BOOK JACKET.

Industry Reviews

This book is a valuable contribution to SLA research. Apart from the obvious target of the book, SLA researchers and teachers anywhere in the world, it will be of particular interest to the Japanese community and to Westerners interested in Japanese language and culture. It is not easy to write a book appealing to audiences as disparate as this, but Daulton has managed to do this very well. He writes clearly and lucidly and makes good use of his teaching experience in Japan.
