Mock foreigner speech and the reification of mediatized (white) foreignness in Japanese media
This article examines the metapragmatics of ‘Mock Foreigner’ speech and its associated characterological figure in a Japanese popular media context. Mock Foreigner speech is a language ideological construct commonly used in Japanese media in the portrayal of non-native Japanese speakers of Western origin. Building on previous research of mock language varieties as ethnolinguistic boundary markers, I analyze both the representation of this figure …
Commodifying adolescence for performance and profit
Japanese pop idols occupy an ambiguous position in the broader popular music landscape, straddling a line between fiction and non-fiction, simultaneously characterological yet physically instantiated. As idealized representations of the girl or boy next door, idols serve as both ‘image characters’ who can be used to sell a variety of products, as well as ‘quasi companions’ meant to provide fans with a manufactured sense of intimacy. Using a joint…

Katakana and the Mediatized Other
Katakana is commonly used to represent recent loanwords in today’s Japanese, but because of this function, it also maintains a semiotic relationship with a sense of linguistic ‘foreignness’ more generally.

Using this relationship as a poi…

I write to you now from the dormitory room of a certain all-girls' school."1 In this manner, award-winning author Miura Shion opened the first essay of her column "Yuri no kafun wa ochinikui" (The pollen of lilies is not easy-to-fall). This column, which ran in …
Script variation as audience design
Building on recent work supporting a sociolinguistic approach to orthographic choice, this study engages with paratextual language use in yuri , a subgenre of Japanese shōjo manga ‘girls’ comics’ that centers on same-sex romantic and/or erotic relationships between female characters. The comic magazine Comic Yuri Hime has been the dominant, if not only, yuri -oriented published magazine in Japan since its inception in 2005. Though both written an…
Voices of the hero
This paper examines diachronic changes in the pronoun use and phonetic performance of protagonists in sh?nen anime, a genre of animated work that is aimed predominately at adolescent boys. Utilising nearly forty years of sh?nen anime, this study constructs a diachronic analysis of first-person pronoun usage, the primary pragmatic index of gender performance in Japanese, as well as average pitch and pitch range, which are frequently cited as salie…
