The results show that 1)morethan 80% of the katakana words that appear in the technical term list are out of the scope of the formerJLPT , 2)more than 90% of the katakana words are English origin and some of them are WASEIEIGO(Japanized English loan words), and 3)more than 20% of the katakana words are the ones with asynonym.
