    • 2015, Hattori Miki, Taiwan ni umare sodatsu Tai-Nichi kokusaiji no bairingarizumu [Bilingualism in Taiwanese-Japanese children born and raised in Taiwan], page 184:
      (ふた)つの(こと)()(ぶん)()()って()まれ(そだ)ってきたのだから、「ダブル」と()ぼうという(うご)きに(たい)しても、「ダブル (double)」は(えい)()では「(だい)(やく)」「(かえ)(だま)」という()()もあるので、「(こく)(さい)(じん)」という()()(もっと)( てき)しているのではないかと(かた)(おか)(2008:53)は()べている。

      Since they are raised with two languages and cultures, there is a movement to call such people “double”, but in response Kataoka (2008:53) notes that since the English word “double” can also mean “substitute” or “proxy”, the label “global citizen” is better.

      “If I am pressed to say whether I am Japanese or Korean” the word double was indispensable. But recently, “I avoid descriptions like ‘half’ or ‘double’”.
