An Investigation of Diachronic Change in Communication Accommodation

Kevin Heffernan

University of Toronto, Ontario, Canada, kevin.heffernan{at}utoronto.ca

This article examines Japanese adaptations of American movie titles over the past 60 years. The results show a continuous increase in the use of loanwords, nonce (i.e., one-interaction only) borrowings, and transliterations from one decade to the next. The results are interpreted as increased accommodation to English.

Key Words: communication accommodation theory • loanword adaptation • diachronic change • Japanese
