This thesis has explored English loan words in modern Japanese, in terms of phonological aspects and attempted to find the causes for the sound change in the English words when they were incorporated into Japanese. This thesis has also exemplified differences between English and Japanese sound systems and syllabic systems. In addition, the thesis has discussed causes for ellipsis of loan words and ten principles governing the occurrence of ellipsis and, finally, the thesis touched upon limitation of ellipsis.
