Scholars are part of society and for this reason their work reflects the peri- od of time in which they live and the places where they work. The European tradition in the study of language has made many semi- nal contributions – theoretical, descriptive, or applied. While lan- guage and the study of language have been taught in academia for as long as universities have existed in Europe, it is generally agreed that linguistics only came into existence as a discipline in its own right with the posthumous publication of Ferdinand de Saussure’s lectures on the study of language in 1916. Setting out from his semi- nal Cours de linguistique générale, students of language started look- ing at language as an autonomous and systematic whole where lin- guistic changes would need to be accounted for with reference to the overall systematic relations that constitute a language. This was a milestone for the development of philology and linguistics, and it was achieved in a European context. In Japan, the establishment of such a systematic and comprehensive study of language was greeted with much enthusiasm, and Saussure’s Cours was published in a Jap- anese translation as early as 1928. Hideo Kobayashi, then professor of National Language at the Imperial University of Seoul, translated this work as Gengogaku genron, literally ‘Principles of Linguistics’. What is more, he published new editions of his translation in 1940, 1941 and 1950 in order to share new insights gained from philologi- cal studies into Saussure’s ideas on language.

    Language in Society 49, 357–378. doi:10.1017/S0047404519000794 Script variation as audience design: Imagining readership and community in Japanese yuri comics HANNAH E. DAHLBERG-DODD The Ohio State University, USA ABSTRACT Building on recent work supporting a sociolinguistic approach to orthograph- ic choice, this study engages with paratextual language use in yuri, a subgenre of Japanese shōjo manga ‘girls’ comics’ that centers on same-sex romantic and/or erotic relationships between female characters. The comic magazine Comic Yuri Hime has been the dominant, if not only, yuri-oriented published magazine in Japan since its inception in 2005. Though both written and consumed by a primarily female audience, the magazine has undergone nu- merous attempts to rebrand and refocus the target audience as a means to broaden the magazine’s readership. This change in target demographic is reflected in the stylistic representation of paratextual occurrences of the second-person pronoun anata, indicating the role of the textual landscape in reflecting, and reifying, an imagined target audience. (Script variation, manga, popular media, Japan, yuri manga) INTRODUCTION Building on recent work supporting a sociolinguistic approach to orthographic choice (e.g. Miyake 2007; Bender 2008; Sebba 2009, 2012; Jaffe 2012; Robertson 2017), this study analyzes the indexical potentialities of script variation in Japanese mass media discourse. The stylistic and visual resources that construct the speaking ‘voice’ are many, ranging from aural features such as voice quality (e.g. Teshigawara 2007; Redmond 2016) and structural ones like syntax and semantics (e.g. Sadanobu 2011) to more content-oriented ones like lexical variation (e.g.

What Happened to the Honorifics in a Local Japanese Dialect in 55 ears:y A Report from the Okazaki Survey on Honorifics Abstract This paper reports the analysis of the three trend samples from the Okazaki Honorifics Survey, a longitudinal survey by the National Language Research Institute on the use and the awareness of honorifics in Okazaki city, Aichi Prefecture in Japan. Its main results are: (1) the Okazakians are using more polite forms over the 55 years; (2) the effect of the three social variables (sex, age, and educational background), which used to be strong factors controlling the use of the honorifics in the speech community, are diminishing over the years; (3) in OSH I and II, the questions show clustering by the feature [±service interaction], while the same 11 questions in OSH III exhibit clustering by a different feature, [±spontaneous]; (4) the change in (3) and (4) can be accounted for nicely by the Democratization Hypothesis proposed by Inoue (1999) for the variation and change of honorifics in other Japanese dialects.
  • Modern JAPANESE Grammar

    Modern JAPANESE Grammar

    Modern JAPANESE Grammar 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, topics, honorifics, etc. Part B is carefully organized 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 a practical usage manual, Modern Japanese Grammar: A Practical Guide is the ideal resource for learners of Japanese at all levels, from beginner to advanced. 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. Naomi H. McGloin is Professor of Japanese Language and Linguistics at the University of Wisconsin-Madison, USA. Mutsuko Endo Hudson is Professor of Japanese Language and Linguistics at Michigan State University, USA. Fumiko Nazikian is Senior Lecturer and Director of the Japanese Language Program at Columbia University, USA.
  • Situated Politeness: Manipulating Honorific and Non-Honorific Expressions in Japanese Conversations

    Situated Politeness: Manipulating Honorific and Non-Honorific Expressions in Japanese Conversations

    Pragmatics 9:1.51-74 (1999) International Pragmatics Association SITUATED POLITENESS: MANIPULATING HONORIFIC AND NON-HONORIFIC EXPRESSIONS IN JAPANESE CONVERSATIONS Shigeko Okamoto 1. Introduction* While the theories of linguistic politeness advanced by Lakoff (1973), Leech (1983), and Brown and Levison (1987) have been influential and spurred great interest in ensuing research on this topic, limitations of their theories have also been pointed out by many scholars: These theories do not consider cultural and situational variability in the meanings of politeness; politeness rules and maxims are proposed without detailed descriptions of when and how to use them; certain speech acts or linguistic expressions are assumed to be inherently polite/impolite (or face-threatening); and politeness of individual utterances rather than connected discourse has been the focus of study (Hymes 1986; Blum-Kulka 1987; Fraser 1990; Gu 1990; Watts et al. 1992; Agha 1994, etc.). In this study, I maintain that expressions of politeness are relative to specific social contexts as well as to the speakers' ideas about politeness. An adequate account of linguistic politeness thus requires a close examination of the relationship among linguistic expressions in discourse, speakers' ideas about politeness, and social contexts. As a case in point, the present study examines Japanese conversations with regard to the use of honorifics--one of the most important means of expressing politeness in Japanese. Brown and Levinson (1987) treat honorifics as outputs of a negative politeness strategy -- Give deference -- for redressing face-threatening acts. However, it has been pointed out that every utterance in Japanese requires a choice between honorific and non-honorific expressions, which, therefore, cannot be regarded as a matter of politeness strategies applicable only to certain potentially face-threatening speech acts (Matsumoto 1988).

  • 1 a Japanese Pitch Accent Practice Program and L1 Influence on Pitch

    1 a Japanese Pitch Accent Practice Program and L1 Influence on Pitch

    2018. Proc Ling Soc Amer 3. 1:1-12. https://doi.org/10.3765/plsa.v3i1.4276. A Japanese pitch accent practice program and L1 influence on pitch accent acquisition Jeff Peterson* Abstract. Recent research has demonstrated that learners of Japanese struggle producing correct Japanese pitch accent. The goal of the present study was to investigate the effect learners’ first language (L1) may have on accent acquisition following the introduction and use of a digital Japanese Pitch Accent Learning and Practice (PALP) program in two Japanese courses. The PALP program visually and aurally presents learners with pitch patterns and requires them to select the correct pitch accent pattern for new vocabulary. Participants’ pitch accent abilities were assessed at the beginning and end of their courses. A mixed design ANOVA was conducted to analyze the effect of learners’ L1 on pitch accent acquisition. Results evince a significant interaction effect between participant group (treatment/control) and L1 (Chinese/English), F(1, 24) = 10.09, p < .01 (�2 = .30). Specifically, English L1 participants in the treatment group considerably outperformed the control group English L1 participants. However, the Chinese L1 participants in both groups performed at approximately equal levels. These results suggest the existence of an L1 influence on pitch accent acquisition. Keywords. Japanese, pitch accent, L1 influence, transfer, CALL 1. Introduction. Students of Japanese often face many difficulties in their attempts to gain control of standardized Japanese pronunciation. Many struggle distinguishing between and mastering double-mora phonemes (i.e., long and short vowel sounds), especially at the lower level (Deguchi 2011, Kawai & Hirose 2000).
