Abstract:

The Japanese language is phonologically moraic and morphologically
agglutinative. It is unique, with (a) a transitive/unaccusative verb
alternation system rendered by morpheme; (b) split intransitivity; and (c)
split subjectivity that is displayed in all part of speech (suffixes and
prefixes, adjectives, particles, auxiliaries, nouns, adnominals, adverbs and
transitive/intransitive verb pairs). Word formation in Japanese is an issue of
phonology, morphonology and semantics. This book is composed of 10 chapters,
which address formation in phonology and morphonology (nominal compounding,
Chapter 5); formation in morpho-syntax (verb compounding, Chapter 3);
formation in morphonology (derivation, Chapter 4); formation in syntax
(middles, Chapter 6; split intransitivity, Chapter 8); and formation in
semantics (split subjectivity, Chapter 7). Investigating word formation
(particularly compounding and derivation) brings to light the
interrelationship between grammaticalisation and lexicalisation: orthogonal.
