説明

These days our society is flooded with loanwords.Loanwords have been investigated by many scholars and even the National Institute for Japanese Language. They proposed the differences between loanwords and original languages, their usage, meanings and characteristics.However, they just described their situation not based on any principles.They have not explained the mechanism of how people borrowed words from other cultures. In this paper, I will explain the machanism of it within the framework of relevance theory.In relevance theory a hearer decodes and handles pragmatic process constrained by the principle of relevance to reach the speaker's intended meaning.One part of the process is ad hoc concept construction, by which a hearer adjusts the concept linguistically encoded by word.Ad hoc concept construction has three ways in which the concept expressed by use of a word on a give occasion may differ from the concept encoded: lexical narrowing,lexical broadening and attributive use.It can shed light on the mechanism of loanwords.Furthermore, attributive use of concepts can provide descriptions of loanwords characteristics proposed by many scholars.
