Summary/Abstract: Forms of Neologism Manifestation in the Japanese Language: Multi-Perspective Approach. The article focuses on the various ways neologisms entered the Japanese language, through a detailed analysis of different words of Anglo-Saxon and American origin – the socalled Anglicisms. The article also concentrates on the morphological, syntactic, semantic and phonetic capacity of these words to adapt in the new language (Japanese, in our case). In this respect, we enumerate several possible reasons why this “Anglicism” phenomenon has occurred in several languages over the world in the last decades. In conclusion, we present some fields in which neologisms are dominant.
