Eight types of notation of loanwords consisting of a combination of kanji, katakana, hiragana and alphabet were observed in six volumes of a general magazine, Fujin Koron. The two most frequently found forms were kanji with katakana ruby and katakana only, though different notations were used for the purpose of presenting information in an easy to understand way. The two major findings of the research are as follows. (1) As the studies to date show, the notational styles of loanwords gradually shifted from kanji to kana. (2) Loanwords with ruby notation decreased in number though it was an accepted rule in the magazine to add ruby to all kanji. Both (1) and (2) show similar shifts since the reduction in the number of kanji used made it possible to reduce the number of ruby. These findings are in accordance with the then trend to simplify the notational systems. So it can be said that the notational style of loanwords in the Taisho period underwent a simplification process from kanji-with-ruby to katakana-only.}, pages = {1--9}, title = {大正期の『婦人公論』における外来語表記の変遷}, volume = {15}, year = {2013} }
