Abstract:

This volume brings together papers that take usage-based approaches to study
the nature of human language, with a focus on the grammar of Japanese. The 12
chapters provide a rich array of data and methodologies, with topics ranging
from phonology, modality, and grammatical morphemes, to sentential
construction and discourse-level phenomena such as turn-taking, speech
register, and language change. As a whole, they demonstrate that usage-based
linguistics illuminates various phenomena in the language that could not have
been well accounted for by resorting solely to a formal theory such as the
Universal-Grammar-based approach. Reflecting theoretical, methodological, and
technological advancements made in and outside the field of
cognitive-functional linguistics in recent years, the papers contained in this
volume, both individually and collectively, have significant implications
towards linguistics in general and Japanese linguistics in particular, as we
as Japanese language teaching.
