In particular, the book uncovers the process by which language is conceived of as a symbol of national identity by examining an animated newspaper controversy over the use of foreign loanwords. The book concludes that the fierce debate over the use of loanwords can be understood as a particular manifestation of the ongoing (re-)negotiation of Japanese national identity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book will appeal to scholars and students in sociolinguistics, translation studies, and discourse analysis, while its cultural and geographic focus will attract readers in Japanese studies and East Asian studies.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Rarewaves","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56517590286710,"sku":"9781032054261","price":177.51,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0092\/7504\/8033\/files\/stand_37590132_2bbccd24-3a59-4edf-be89-71d910466bc1.jpg?v=1762190192","url":"https:\/\/www.rarewaves.com\/products\/9781032054261-loanwords-japanese-identity","provider":"Rarewaves.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
