• Title:
  A new consonant-vowel architecture: Japanese borrowings from European languages from the viewpoint of Complexity Scales and Licensing
• Creator:
  Michalski, Marcin
• Description:
  Japanese  has  borrowed  lexical  items  from  European  languages  for  centuries,  mostly  for  historical  and  cultural reasons. Phonological analyses concerning the process of importing words from various languages are numerous. Syllabic structures of Western languages usually differ from those in Japanese and this difference manifests itself mainly in the lack of many consonant groups in the latter. In this paper, a number of examples will be provided so as  to  show  how  consonant  clusters  from  donor  languages  undergo  decomposition  in  Japanese  loanwords  from European languages, also referred to as gairaigo. The phonological model of Complexity Scales and Licensing is employed here with a view to demonstrating precisely why the process of cluster disintegration usually happens, which enforces epenthetic vowels, and why it is at times inhibited.
