Abstract:

Azuma Old Japanese is an areal term for the two major dialects of
Eastern (‘Azuma’) Japan during the eighth century: Eastern Old
Japanese and Töpo-Suruga Old Japanese. This volume is an exhaustive,
comparative reference grammar based on the linguistic data contained
in the Man’yōshū poetic anthology (759 CE). It contains chapters
dedicated to the different lexical categories, the lexicon, the
phonology, and the historical development.

This volume serves to fill the last remaining gap in English language
scholarship on the grammar of premodern Japanese dialects, and
significantly contributes to our understanding of the historical
development of the earliest attested Japanese dialects. It also
contains an extensive reconstruction of Proto-Japanese.

Linguistic Field(s): Historical Linguistics

Subject Language(s): English (eng)

Written In: English (eng)
