<br>Subject: dubbing
<br>
<br>Isn't the word "dubbing" used these days in English to mean "recording
<br>from tape to tape"?
<br>When I came to Japan 15 years ago, I remember people using the word
<br>"dabingu" in this way, and my telling them that we didn't use the word
<br>that way in English, that we used it only in the sense of "dubbing"
<br>foreign films, etc.   But it seems that this new meaning is now common
<br>in English.  When did this usage first come about in English?  Could it
<br>be a semantic back-borrowing because of the Japanese influence of the
<br>recording device industry?  Any ideas?
