In our paradigmatic analysis of language varieties in the context of labor mobilities, we shall take the case o…

English for the Tokyo 2020 Olympics
This study focuses on the convergence of multiculturalism and Englishization initiatives as Japan anticipates the influx of a multinational audience for the Summer Olympics.

Using biographical interviews and ethnography, this paper suggests that relig…

By virtue of Japan's 1990 Immigration Policy, the so-called 'nikkeijin' or descendants of Japanese nationals who emigrated and settled in American and Southeast Asian territories before the Second World War, have been allowed to 'return' to their ancestral homeland (Japan). As a consequence, thousands of Brazilians, Peruvians and Filipino nikkeijin have been granted residency status by the Japanese government, with the clear expectation that they…
