Abstract:
Please Note: This is a new edition of a previously announced book.
Japanese ranks as the ninth most widely spoken language of the world with more
than 127 million speakers in the island state of Japan. Its genetic relation
has been a topic of heated discussion, but Altaic and Austronesian languages
appear to have contributed to the early formation of this language. Japanese
has a long written tradition, which goes back to texts from the eighth century
CE. The modern writing system employs a mixture of Chinese characters and two
sets of syllabary indigenously developed based on the Chinese characters.
This book consists of sixteen chapters covering the phonology, morphology,
writing system, tense and aspect systems, basic argument structure,
grammatical constructions, and discourse and pragmatic phenomena of Japanese.
It provides researchers with a useful typological reference and students of
Japanese with a theory-neutral introduction to current linguistic research
issues.
