Abstract

Taiwanese Hokkien has been profoundly influenced by Japanese and Mandarin successively. The official language of Taiwan today is Mandarin, as a consequence, the former official language, Japanese, is rapidly disappearing in Taiwanese Hokkien. Therefore, this research will focus on the Japanese vocabulary in Taiwanese Hokkien used by college students in Taichung area. On the one hand, it will share the observation on the decline of Japanese vocabulary in Taiwanese Hokkien; on the other hand, it will discuss the significant impact of the social change on the fading rate of these Japanese words. This research will reveal the language change caused by the differences in gender, expertise, performance, and learning environment of college students. In addition, these students, aged from 18 to 22, are brought up immersed in Mandarin as the official language. Through this research, we can also witness the achievement of the Mandarin-mother tongue education as of today.
