This glossary is designed primarily to help English speaking
geographers, mapping and geographic information system (GIS)
technicians and professionals, and marketing and sales executives
working in Japan or dealing with their Japanese counterparts in the
West.
With the increase in international business and research between the
West and Japan success in such ventures has come to be in large part
dependent upon communication. Nearly everyone who has ever attempted to
learn both spoken and written Japanese will tell you that it is no
simple task, and that it requires years of full-time study, time that
very few of us have. Learning to write in Japanese is perhaps one of
the most daunting of tasks and isn't entirely necessary in order to
communicate. Rudimentary skills in spoken Japanese are more easily
acquired and are an essential minimum requirement of facilitated
communication. This dictionary provides the romanized version of
Japanese terms so that a spoken knowledge of Japanese can be more
readily acquired.
In the case where borrowed English is used the romanized katakana
(Japanese characters used to represent borrowed foreign terms)
pronunciation is provided. To clarify pronunciation apostrophe's and
circumflex accents have been used. The circumflex accent takes the
place of the bar symbol over a vowel for which there is no means of
representing in HTML (hypertext markup language) format at the time of
publication.
The user should be warned that in more than many cases, especially in
those where the Japanese with whom you are, or intend to communicate
with are not familiar with the discipline in question they are not
likely to know the meaning or even have heard of the word in question.
Even within a discipline verbal communication can be a problem when
there are no characters to look at. The meaning of words often cannot
be gleaned without examining the shapes and combinations of characters.
Accent indications are not given as they vary with geographical
areas.
