Abstract:

Introducing readers to all key areas of Japanese linguistics, this
book brings the theory to life through a range of real-world examples
of texts and materials that students might encounter in contemporary
Japan.
Throughout, the author introduces readers to linguistic notions,
supporting them to further their understanding of the forms and
functions of the language as well as increasing familiarity with
social and cultural aspects via examples from manga, newspapers, food
packaging, light novels and more.
Combining and building on the very best of Japanese Linguistics and
Japanese Language in Use, this book covers:
· Writing systems
· Vocabulary strata
· Word and sentence structures and meanings
· Figurative language
· Language and culture
· Speech and thought.
It also contains a wealth of new examples not explored in the previous
volumes, texts translated from English to Japanese and additional
resources including a companion website hosting translations, quizzes
and commentaries to the book's activities.
