The aim of this brief paper is to examine the lexical influences of Japanese on English from several perspectives, in order to lay the groundwork for a forthcoming essay on the history of such words and their status in contemporary English. After summarizing work done in this field so far, and commenting on the dating of first entry of words into English, it proceeds to offer a typology of borrowing, based on etymological derivation and new word-formation. Finally, it assesses degrees of assimilation, with particular reference to current English lexicography, and looks at recent data analysis of newly imported words which points to a relatively high percentage for Japanese. The following abbreviations are used in the body of the text : AHD82=American Heritage Dictionary (1982) CED88=Chambers English Dictionary (1988) COD90=Concise Oxford Dictionary (1990) KEJ83=Kodansha Encyclopedia of Japan (1983) LDEL84=Longman Dictionary of the English Language (1984) ODNW90=Oxford Dictionary of New Words (1990) OED2=Oxford English Dictionary, 2nd edition (1989) RH87=Random House Dictionary of the English Language (1987) WCD90=Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary (1990) Further details are supplied in the references at the end. "b<a" means "b is derived from a"; "x>y" means "x is the source of y".
