Abstrakt: Japanese language has been evolving with various important changes due to many historical reasons since 1600s. One of the important reasons for which the Japanese language underwent major changes is due to a strong influence of the West during 1900s. Both the policy related to English language education and use, and media's dependence on English words have accelerated the borrowing of English words into Japanese language during the past few decades. It is intriguing to researchers of this field and therefore makes it very important to understand and analyze the reasons to why English loan words have been massively entering into Japanese language to a point where every tenth word used in Japan today is an English loan word. This paper highlights with examples as to why English loan words flow into the Japanese language along with the explanations as to what effect they cause, by investigating the reasons why such adaptation has become unavoidable overtime.
