Japanese Linguistics


Hamano, Shoko (The George Washington University); THE SOUND-SYMBOLIC
SYSTEM OF JAPANESE; ISBN: 1-57586-144-5 (paper), 1-57586-144-5 (cloth);

	This book is the first theoretical study of sound-symbolic expressions
in Japanese commonly known as mimetic words. It identifies stringent
linguistic constraints on these expressions and demonstrates that they
form an intricate linguistic system rather than a collection of ad hoc
expressions. It then carefully identifies the sound-symbolic meanings
of sound units so as to make the elusive meaning of each sound-symbolic
expression fully comprehensible. In addition, this book describes a
number of interesting facts about the history of the Japanese language
which mimetic words reveal.
