In this study, I investigate vowel epenthesis that arises in loanword adaptation in Najdi Arabic (NA), an Arabic dialect spoken in the middle region of Saudi Arabia. In addition, I present experimental data from NA, to advocate for the perception-based analysis of loanword adaptation, an approach early adopted by Fleishacker (2002). Based on acoustic and perceptual evidence, Fleishacker has fou...

In this paper, I examine the adaptation of English /z/ in 1930s Korean based on a loanword dictionary published in 1937 (Lee 1937).

I discuss the implic...

This paper examines English-based loanwords in Standard Mandarin in light of various proposals on how loanwords are adapted and processed, and discusses the implications of the findings in loanword adaptation for phonological theory. There have been three major approaches to the adaptation and processing of sound-based loanwords: the Perception Approach, the Phonology Approach, and the Percepti...
