Abstract:

This book provides the fullest account of Japanese phonology ever 
published. At the same time it makes original contributions both to current 
understanding of the Japanese sound system and to contemporary 
phonological theory more generally. 

After a consideration of the history of linguistic variation in Japanese, the 
book focuses on modern standard Japanese and its major dialectical 
variations. Professor Labrune presents a critical overview of current 
Japanese phonology and new analyses of the central features of Japanese 
phonology, including segment inventory, the phonology of voicing, the nature 
of moraic segments, the mora, the syllable, the foot and the upper prosodic 
units, and accent. Drawing on her own extensive research and on published 
work in and outside Japan Professor Labrune presents a synthesis of work 
within and outside Japan. In doing so she shows the great value as well as 
some of the limitations of approaches derived from Japanese traditional 
linguistics and philology, work which has largely been ignored outside the 
country. Her balanced, clear presentation will appeal to phonologists and their 
advanced students throughout the world.
