Abstract:

The linguistic study of Japanese, with its rich syntactic and phonological
structure, complex writing system, and diverse sociohistorical context, is a
rapidly growing research area. This book, designed to serve as a concise
reference for researchers interested in the Japanese language and in
typological studies of language in general, explores diverse characteristics
of Japanese that are particularly intriguing when compared with English and
other European languages. It pays equal attention to the theoretical aspects
and empirical phenomena from theory-neutral perspectives, and presents
necessary theoretical terms in clear and easy language. It consists of five
thematic parts including sound system and lexicon, grammatical foundation and
constructions, and pragmatics/sociolinguistics topics, with chapters that
survey critical discussions arising in Japanese linguistics. The Cambridge
Handbook of Japanese Linguistics will be welcomed by general linguists, and
students and scholars working in linguistic typology, Japanese language,
Japanese linguistics and Asian Studies.
