Stress in Japanese Loanwords in English: Faithfulness or Adaptation?
Résumé
CONTEXT AND AIMS • Hundreds of Japanese loanwords in everyday English with a borrowing process particularly significant in the 20 th century. • Background: Analysis within the morphophonological framework initiated by Lionel Guierre in the 70's, which aims at uncovering rules for stress placement for unaccounted parts of the English vocabulary. • Aim: Survey of word stress patterns of Japanese loanwords in contemporary English, especially primary stress (/1/). • Issues: Does English borrow from both the lexicon and the phonological structure of the source language? Does the location of the stressed syllable of the English item correspond to that of the accented syllable in the original Japanese word? (see similar studies based on Italian loanwords in 2012).
