Basil's thesis investigates the factors and forces that changed written
Japanese between the years 1945 and 1995. It compares changes in official
policies to changes in written Japanese among various groups in Japan.
Using the concept of language ownership, it analyses links between Japanese
and Chinese language policy makers, the education system, consumerism, the
youth, and developments in Japanese word processing. The thesis finds that
actions outside of officialdom are as important as official policies
shaping written Japanese. In the future policy makers should account for
the opinions of various groups with a vested interest in written Japanese.
