Abstract:

This book is the first dedicated collection of systemic functional
descriptions of Japanese. It represents the most recent, international work
describing the system and structure of Japanese and how applications of the
descriptions have been used in the fields of computer science and education.

The book is divided into two sections: descriptions and applications. The
descriptions section is organised into the three metafunctions: textual,
interpersonal and ideational. The applications section explores education and
computing. The contributions on education present work on the application of
systemic functional theory to teaching Japanese as a second or foreign
language. The contributions on computing present the application of systemic
functional theory to the development of a Japanese language based computer
operating system.

Systemic Functional Perspectives of Japanese is suitable for undergraduates,
postgraduates, researchers of descriptive linguistics and applied linguistics
and also for Japanese language teachers. It includes a foreword by Professor
Noboru Yamaguchi, Tohoku University, one of the first linguists to explore
systemic functional perspectives of Japanese.
