In Japan, there are some serious latent functions of American/British English. The more the English educational system grows in Japan, the fewer chances the Japanese have for studying other foreign languages (the “Matthew Effect”), the more dominant an Anglo-Saxon's ethos becomes. They also would rational ize the hierarchy of Japanese labor market that is organized by the various differeces in cultural capitals. English-loan words have become the outer skin of Japanese language body, and threaten to become its true skin. But English-loan words cannot be rigarded as genuine English words.
