Abstract:

This volume represents the first comprehensive work on Japanese clause
structure conducted within the framework of Cognitive Grammar. The author
proposes schematic conceptual structures for the major constructions in the
language and defines Japanese case marking and grammatical relations in purely
conceptual terms. The work thus makes a convincing case for the conceptual
basis of grammar, thereby constituting a strong argument against the autonomy
of syntax hypothesis of Generative Grammar. 

The volume should be of interest to any researcher wishing to know how
Cognitive Grammar, whose primary focus has been on the non-syntactic aspects
of language, can explain the clausal structure of a given language in a
detailed, comprehensive, yet unifying manner. In addition to its theoretical
findings, the volume contains a number of revealing analyses and
interpretations of Japanese data, which should be of great interest to all
Japanese linguists, irrespective of their theoretical persuasions.
