Japanese : A Linguistic Introduction

See all formats and editions

This comprehensive introduction to the Japanese language consists of six parts.

Following the introductory section, it explores the Japanese lexicon, grammatical foundations, major clause types, clause linkage, and language usage.

The discussion of formal and structural properties of Japanese such as sound structure, vocabulary and grammar assist readers as they gain insight into historical and sociocultural aspects of Japanese; some are compared with those of English-speaking nations.

An ideal choice for instructors, the book includes twenty-eight chapters, sufficient for approximately ninety hours of hands-on instruction.

Each topic has been rigorously selected based on the author's experience of more than two decades teaching Japanese linguistics.

The book's breadth and depth make it highly appropriate for learners of the Japanese language, for linguistics students interested in Japanese, and for researchers interested in Japanese linguistics.

Online resources include exercises and supplementary multimedia materials to enhance the reader's comprehension and enjoyment.
