- Wasei-eigo abstract "The term Wasei-eigo (和製英語, Japanese-made English, English words coined in Japan) is used in Japanese to refer to Japanese expressions which superficially appear to come from English, but in fact do not. These words were originally borrowed loanwords deriving from English but have become so embedded into the Japanese lexicon that they are re-fashioned to create a novel meaning – diverging from its original intended meaning. Some examples of wasei-eigo are reberu appu (レベルアップ, 'level up'), which means "raise a level", the preposition being interpreted as a verb qualifying its preceding object, in line with Japanese word order). In other cases, a word may simply have gained a (slightly) different meaning: thus kanningu (カンニング) means not "cunning", but "cheating."Wasei-eigo is distinct from Engrish, as it consists of words used in Japanese conversation — not an attempt at speaking English. These include acronyms and initialisms particular to Japan (see list of Japanese Latin alphabetic abbreviations). Wasei-eigo can be compared to wasei kango (和製漢語, Japanese-created kango (Chinese compounds)), which are Japanese pseudo-Sinicisms (Japanese words created on Chinese roots), and are also extremely common.There was a large influx of English loanwords introduced to Japan during the Meiji period, which was an important factor in Japan’s modernization. Because they were so quickly accepted into Japanese society there is not a thorough understanding of the actual meaning of the word leading to misinterpretations and deviations from their original meaning. Since English loanwords are adopted into Japan intentionally (as opposed to diffuse ‘naturally’ through language contact etc.) the original source meaning often deviates and when these loanword become so deeply embedded in the Japanese lexicon it leads to experimentation and re-fashioning of the word’s meaning resulting in wasei-eigo. Some examples include manshon, which phonetically came from the English word ‘mansion’ but instead has the meaning of ‘apartment’.".
