Abstract
Starting from the mid-19th century, then increasing dramatically after the Second World War, the influx of English loanwords in Japanese has become a driving force behind the rapid lexical expansion of this East Asian language. Just as American cultural influence has pervaded every facet of Japanese society, the English language has transformed the landscape of both its vocabulary and grammar to the extent that Japanese today cannot be proficiently spoken without the use of English loanwords. One result of this prolonged language contact is the development of wasei-eigo, original Japanese expressions based on borrowed English-language words. This paper aims to describe how English lexemes and morphemes are introduced into Japanese, modified to suit their new linguistic environment, then used in various ways to create novel English-derived forms and meanings that are not present in Standard English, demonstrating morphological productivity beyond the Anglosphere.
