Modern Japanese Grammar: A Practical Guide is an innovative
reference guide to Japanese, combining traditional and
function-based grammar in a single volume.
The "Grammar" is divided into two parts. Part A covers
traditional grammatical categories such as nouns, verbs,
adjectives, particles, topic, honorifics, etc. Part B is carefully
organised around language functions covering all major
communication situations such as:
- Initiating and ending a conversation
- Seeking and giving factual information
- Expressing gratitude, likes and dislikes
- Making requests and asking for permission and advice
With a strong emphasis on contemporary usage, all grammar points
and functions are richly illustrated throughout with examples
written both in Romanization and Japanese script (a mixture of
"hiragana, katakana," and "kanji.)"
Main features of the "Grammar" include:
- Clear, succinct and jargon-free explanations
- Extensive cross-referencing between the different sections
- Emphasis on areas of particular difficulty for learners of
Japanese
Both as a reference grammar and as a practical usage manual,
"Modern Japanese Grammar: A Practical Guide" is the ideal resource
for learners of Japanese at all levels, from beginner to
intermediate and advanced students. No prior knowledge of
grammatical terminology or Japanese script is required and a
glossary of grammatical terms is provided.
This "Grammar" is accompanied by the "Modern Japanese Grammar
Workbook" (ISBN 978-0-415-27093-9) which features related exercises
and activities.
