This volume presents a comprehensive analysis of pseudo-anglicisms in Japanese which demonstrate dynamic processes of semantic, morphological, and lexical remodeling. These multifaceted phenomena are explored through corpus-based analyses, cross-linguistic comparisons, examination of diverse formation processes and sociolinguistic causes. Numerous examples such as bijinesuchikku (business + -tic, 'businesslike'), yanki (Yankee, 'juvenile delinquent'), akahara (academic + harassment) display unique adaptations and productive usages of anglicisms, and help to advance our understanding of these intricate processes of lexical borrowing in general.
