Abstract:

In The Dutch Language in Japan (1600-1900) Christopher Joby offers the first
book-length account of the knowledge and use of the Dutch language in Tokugawa
and Meiji Japan. For most of this period, the Dutch were the only Europeans
permitted to trade with Japan. Using the analytical tool of language process,
this book explores the nature and consequences of contact between Dutch and
Japanese and other language varieties. The processes analysed include language
learning, contact and competition, code switching, translation, lexical,
syntactic and graphic interference, and language shift. The picture that
emerges is that the multifarious uses of Dutch, especially the translation of
Dutch books, would have a profound effect on the language, society, culture
and intellectual life of Japan.
