カタカナ Analysis II

カタカナ Analysis

There are several uses for カタカナ.

1. Emphasis for words
2. Loan words for foreign words
3. Onomatopia (buzz, swish, etc. )

These words can appear anywhere. For example, the following picture:
This picture is an example of loan word use katakana as well as emphasis. The katakana is used because is stands out in advertising and it also comes from English origin. Although katakana may be used for singluar uses, they may also be jointly used for two of the above reasons as well.

An example of pure loan word is the following:

This t-shirt is using katakana to write the name Obama because it is of English origin.

Katakana can also be found in the following cartoon strip:

Katakana is used in here for onomatopeia. The little kid is saying "マッ" as a sign of surprise. This is just a sound and not an actual word, so the katakana is used instead of hiragana. 

 It's really interesting to note that katakana is even used a lot for words that are Japanese, like names and slang words, to give them a 'cool' look and sound. For example, a lot of times the words "kakkoii," which means "cool," and "meccha," which is slang for "very" or "really." It'd be interesting to look further into how Japanese people, especially the younger generations, use katakana
