Abstract:

An Introduction to Japanese Phraseology

Noriko Katsuki-Pestemer

This book explains the main linguistic features of Japanese
phraseological expressions, i.e. phraseologisms (PHOs), and is written
for students of Japanese and Japanese linguistics.
The monograph consists of five chapters: Introduction (Ch. 1),
Lexicology and Lexicosemantics (Ch. 2), Morphosyntax (Ch. 3),
Semantics (Ch. 4), and Summary and Conclusions (Ch. 5). The book
categorises Japanese PHOs into seven types: idioms, similes, aphorisms
and quotations, proverbs, koji-seigo (ancient Chinese proverbs and
sayings), kanji compounds (kanji-jukugo), and empty phrases.
Approximately 400 PHOs are used to depict the main linguistic
properties of Japanese PHOs: polylexicality, lexicality and
reproduction, rigidity (stability), delexicalization, idiomaticity,
and finally short expressions. Some PHOs are explained etymologically
to draw the attention of the reader to classical Chinese literary
works and the Japanese cultural background. In order to illustrate how
Japanese PHOs are used concretely in the media today, c. 70 PHOs in
Japanese national newspapers were selected and analysed. Thus, the
book elucidates not only linguistic characteristics of Japanese PHOs,
but also their practical use. The majority of PHOs explained in the
book are analysed morphosyntactically so that the student can also see
the agglutination of lexical items and thus learn Japanese grammatical
structures.
