Abstract:

This volume presents a comprehensive survey of the lexicon and word formation
processes in contemporary Japanese, with particular emphasis on their
typologically characteristic features and their interactions with syntax and
semantics. Through contacts with a variety of languages over more than two
thousand years of history, Japanese has developed a complex vocabulary system
that is composed of four lexical strata: (i) native Japanese, (ii) mimetic,
(iii) Sino-Japanese, and (iv) foreign (especially English). This hybrid
composition of the lexicon, coupled with the agglutinative character of the
language by which morphology is closely associated with syntax, gives rise to
theoretically intriguing interactions with word formation processes that are
not easily found with inflectional, isolate, or polysynthetic types of
languages.
