Abstract

FERNANDEZ MATA, Rafael. Japanese religious and philosophical loanwords in current spanish. Nueva rev. filol. hisp. [online]. 2019, vol.67, n.2, pp.595-618.  Epub July 26, 2019. ISSN 2448-6558.  https://doi.org/10.24201/nrfh.v67i2.3531.

Japanese loanwords relating to religion and philosophy constitute the seventh biggest semantic field -a position that they also share with Japanese loanwords related to home-furniture and clothing- of all such words used currently in Spanish (4 words out of a total of 92). In the present article an attempt is made for the first time in Spanish to offer an exhaustive description of religious and philosophical Japanese loanwords from a formal, semantic and historical perspective. The degree to which these loanwords adapt to the Spanish lexicon is also indicated.

Keywords : japonesismo; religion; philosophy; loanwords; Spanish lexicography.
