Japanese writing project1

Most of the time , we can find many ways of using katakana in the comics.Here are some example.

Loan words:
ページ、スタート
"ページ and スタート are the words loeaned from english words"page and start". I think it is very easy to find japanese use english to replace . For example, お仕事スタートcan be use お仕事始めます to express the idea but why they still use "start" to replace? I think it is because english word is more shorter and is very cool to use english other than janpanese.

emphasized words:
 "ウチら”, " アンタ”
     Actually, in these example we can use hinagana to write in the normal situation . However,the comic would like to emphasize the feeling expression of the character, so it write as a katakana.

onomatopoeia:
"ドン”、"パチパチ”
   The comic also shows a lot of onomatopoeia.ドンis the sound of knocking and パチパチ means the sounds of typing.If we use katakana  to  describe onomatopoeia, it can  bring  some movement and increase the atmosphere.


names of foreigners and foreign places:

almost of the english name and countries are written by katakana.
e.g.ニコル（NICOLE)、初音ミク、ドイツ

we still have lots of way to use katakana, but i think those four reasons i mentoned above is the most important .
Kaomonji:
Every countries have different ways to express their feeling in internet or writing. And i think kaomonji is the most popular way in japan internet. In the web page"niconico douga", some internet artist would like to use the only one kaomonji to represent themselve. i can say that kaomonji is one of the japanese culture which hong kong teenager would like to imitate because they think it is so cool ,just like why japanese teenager love using english.
such as the below example:ﾋﾟωﾟｺ,。(赤・ω・飯),(･｀ｪ´･),('◉◞⊖◟◉` ),(｀●ｗ●´)
