This comprehensive introduction to the Japanese language consists
of six parts. Following the introductory section, it explores the
Japanese lexicon, grammatical foundations, major clause types,
clause linkage, and language usage. The discussion of formal and
structural properties of Japanese such as sound structure,
vocabulary and grammar assist readers as they gain insight into
historical and sociocultural aspects of Japanese; some are compared
with those of English-speaking nations. An ideal choice for
instructors, the book includes twenty-eight chapters, sufficient
for approximately ninety hours of hands-on instruction. Each topic
has been rigorously selected based on the author's experience of
more than two decades teaching Japanese linguistics. The book's
breadth and depth make it highly appropriate for learners of the
Japanese language, for linguistics students interested in Japanese,
and for researchers interested in Japanese linguistics. Online
resources include exercises and supplementary multimedia materials
to enhance the reader's comprehension and enjoyment.
