When the Cultural Revolution officially ended and a new economic development policy was implemented in China in the late 1970s, the Chinese people had their first glance of the outside world after the country's three-decade-long communist isolation. They saw with the most amazement that Japan had become a highly modernized country and realized that they had accomplished little in modernizing their own country during the past three decades. The Chinese fascination with the strength of modern Japan had in fact begun since it lost the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 as well as its superior power status in Asia. Since then, China had made some modernization efforts including learning some of the modern Western concepts via Japan. However, China's modernization process had been largely unsuccessful and it had blamed Japan and other Western powers' colonization activities for many of its modern failures.

520 $a When the Cultural Revolution officially ended and a new economic development policy was implemented in China in the late 1970s, the Chinese people had their first glance of the outside world after the country's three-decade-long communist isolation. They saw with the most amazement that Japan had become a highly modernized country and realized that they had accomplished little in modernizing their own country during the past three decades. The Chinese fascination with the strength of modern Japan had in fact begun since it lost the Sino-Japanese War of 1894-95 as well as its superior power status in Asia. Since then, China had made some modernization efforts including learning some of the modern Western concepts via Japan. However, China's modernization process had been largely unsuccessful and it had blamed Japan and other Western powers' colonization activities for many of its modern failures.
520 $a In order to achieve China's newly reinstated goal for modernization, I believe that it is necessary for the Chinese to reevaluate the history of its modernization as well as that of Japan's to gain a new perspective of the modern world. In this dissertation, I have examined and compared the modernization processes of China and Japan from a historical, cultural, and linguistic point of view. Through a comparative historical-sociolinguistic research design, I have examined many social-cultural aspects of the modern Chinese and Japanese history. The focus of my comparison is on the changes in the Chinese and Japanese vocabularies due to Western influence since the late nineteenth century. Through examining many of the borrowed words (loanwords) from the West in the two vocabularies quantitatively and qualitatively, I have found that: (1) there are vast differences in the Chinese and Japanese lexical borrowing processes; (2) there is a strong relationship between modernization and lexical borrowing from the West; and (3) to a large degree, the modern loanwords define many aspects of modernization for China and Japan. In addition, the vast differences in Chinese and Japanese lexical borrowing are related to differences in their cultural attitudes toward modernization, which have contributed significantly to the different modernization results in the two countries.
