Abstract

In this paper, we analyzed the features of the adoption strategy in creating Japanese technological terms, by comparing with those of other Asian countries. In addition, we investigated how those technological terms are used differently in each engineering field. As a result, in adopting technological terms, phonetic adoption is found more often in Japan (especially in the new research fields like IT) . In contrast, semantic adoption is found more often in China and Vietnam. It is also found that architecture field shares many terms with civil engineering, and electrical field shares many terms with communication. Those findings are quite useful to the engineering education for foreign students.
