A Handbook of Common Japanese Phrases

[Japanese communication books]

A Handbook of Common Japanese PhrasesWords don’t exist as independent units, to be inserted into grammatical slots by a speaker exercising absolute authority over their placement. Rather, they tend to come in neatly bound packages — in fixed phrases or entire sentences — ready to communicate an idea that cannot be expressed economically in any other way. For example, “I wouldn’t do that if I were you” is basically a set expression, allowing for little change. If a student of English wanted to express the thought behind this phrase, but wasn’t aware that a means of doing it already existed, he or she would be forced to resort to a great deal of circumlocution before the point was made.

The Phonology of Japanese

[Japanese Research]

The Phonology of JapaneseThis is the fullest account of Japanese phonology ever published. At the same time it makes original contributions both to current understanding of the Japanese sound system and to contemporary phonological theory more generally.

After a consideration of the history of linguistic variation in Japanese, the book focuses on modern standard Japanese and its major dialectical variations. Professor Labrune presents a critical overview of current Japanese phonology and new analyses of the central features of Japanese phonology, including segment inventory, the phonology of voicing, the nature of moraic segments, the mora, the syllable, the foot and the upper prosodic units, and accent. Drawing on her own extensive research and on published work in and outside Japan Professor Labrune presents a synthesis of work within and outside Japan. In doing so she shows the great value as well as some of the limitations of approaches derived from Japanese traditional linguistics and philology, work which has largely been ignored outside the country. Her balanced, clear presentation will appeal to phonologists and their advanced students throughout the world.
