Essential Japanese Grammar : a Comprehensive Guide to Contemporary Usage / Masahiro Tanimori, Eriko Sato A Comprehensive Guide to Contemporary Usage MASAHIRO TANIMORI ERIKO SATO TUTTLE Publishing Tokyo | Rutland, Vermont | Singapore The Tuttle Story: “Books to Span the East and West” Most people are surprised to learn that the world’s largest publisher of books on Asia had its beginnings in the tiny American state of Vermont. The company’s founder, Charles E. Tuttle, belonged to a New England family steeped in publishing. And his first love was naturally books—especially old and rare editions. Immediately after WW II, serving in Tokyo under General Douglas MacArthur, Tuttle was tasked with reviving the Japanese publishing industry, and founded the Charles E. Tuttle Publishing Company, which thrives today as one of the world’s leading independent publishers. Though a westerner, Charles was hugely instrumental in bringing knowledge of Japan and Asia to a world hungry for information about the East. By the time of his death in 1993, Tuttle had published over 6,000 books on Asian culture, history and art —a legacy honored by the Japanese emperor with the “Order of the Sacred Treasure,” the highest tribute Japan can bestow upon a non-Japanese. With a backlist of 1,500 titles, Tuttle Publishing is more active today than at any time in its past—inspired by Charles’ core mission to publish fine books to span the East and West and provide a greater understanding of each.

  • Morphological Clues to the Relationships of Japanese and Korean
    Morphological clues to the relationships of Japanese and Korean Samuel E. Martin 0. The striking similarities in structure of the Turkic, Mongolian, and Tungusic languages have led scholars to embrace the perennially premature hypothesis of a genetic relationship as the "Altaic" family, and some have extended the hypothesis to include Korean (K) and Japanese (J). Many of the structural similarities that have been noticed, however, are widespread in languages of the world and characterize any well-behaved language of the agglutinative type in which object precedes verb and all modifiers precede what is mod- ified. Proof of the relationships, if any, among these languages is sought by comparing words which may exemplify putative phono- logical correspondences that point back to earlier systems through a series of well-motivated changes through time. The recent work of John Whitman on Korean and Japanese is an excellent example of productive research in this area. The derivative morphology, the means by which the stems of many verbs and nouns were created, appears to be largely a matter of developments in the individual languages, though certain formants have been proposed as putative cognates for two or more of these languages. Because of the relative shortness of the elements involved and the difficulty of pinning down their semantic functions (if any), we do well to approach the study of comparative morphology with caution, reconstructing in depth the earliest forms of the vocabulary of each language before indulging in freewheeling comparisons outside that domain. To a lesser extent, that is true also of the grammatical morphology, the affixes or particles that mark words as participants in the phrases, sentences (either overt clauses or obviously underlying proposi- tions), discourse blocks, and situational frames of reference that constitute the creative units of language use.

  • Script Variation in Japanese Comics
    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.

  • Japanese Word Prediction
    CORE Metadata, citation and similar papers at core.ac.uk Provided by Lund University Publications - Student Papers Japanese word prediction Fredrik Lindh [email protected] 850320-0290 073-6479325 Japanese studies, Lund University, Sweden. Degree project in Japanese and linguistics, First Level. Supervisors Lars Larm ([email protected]) Arthur Holmer ([email protected]) Referat Denna uppsats beskriver en implementation av en japansk ordprediktor skriven av författaren. Eftersom en ordprediktor inte verkar existera för Japanska, så kan den bli värdefull som ett mjukvaruverktyg inom assistiv teknik och kommunikation (AAC). Den största fördelen som ett sådant system för med sig är förbättrad skrivhastighet, samt att färre tangenttryckningar krävs för att producera text. Ordprediktion ställs ofta i kontrast mot ordkomplettering; den teknologi som T9-systemet i många mobiltelefoner och intellisense-motorer är baserade på. Det finns dock en skillnad då ordprediktion handlar om att föreslå ett följande ord då ett ord skrivs klart, mot att avsluta ett ord som håller på att skrivas. De fungerar oftast genom att tillhandahålla en lista över bigramsfrekvenser viktade med användarens preferenser och korpusdata. Ordprediktion tillsammans med ordkomplettering är bland de kraftfullaste assistiva verktyg som finns för att hjälpa funktionsnedsatta med deras dagliga kommunikationsbehov. Huvudmålen för denna uppsats är: 1. Att röna ut de skillnader som uppstår i implementationen jämfört med andra språk 2. Undersöka vad som kvarstår att göra, både inom prototypen i sig och i allmänhet. 3. Skapa en fungerande prototyp av programmet för Japanska. All kod i projektet är fritt tillgänglig och ligger för tillfället på: http://www.mediafire.com/?rrhqtqsgp6ei6m3 Abstract This report deals with the implementation of a Japanese word prediction engine written by the author.

FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger A Dissertation Submitted in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in English at The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee May 2013 ABSTRACT FOXFIRE: THE SELECTED POEMS OF YOSA BUSON A TRANSLATION By Allan Persinger The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, 2013 Under the Supervision of Professor Kimberly M. Blaeser My dissertation is a creative translation from Japanese into English of the poetry of Yosa Buson, an 18th century (1716 – 1783) poet. Buson is considered to be one of the most important of the Edo Era poets and is still influential in modern Japanese literature. By taking account of Japanese culture, identity and aesthetics the dissertation project bridges the gap between American and Japanese poetics, while at the same time revealing the complexity of thought in Buson's poetry and bringing the target audience closer to the text of a powerful and mov- ing writer.

Introduction This is a guide to the modern Japanese version of the traditional four-player Chinese tabletop game of mahjong, this variant also being known as Riichi Mahjong or Reach Mahjong. I've previously written several guides to specific mahjong video-games (these can all be accessed from my GameFAQs contributor page) but I decided to produce a new, general, resource which will be useful to people playing on any mahjong video-game or website, reading mahjong manga, watching mahjong anime or perhaps even playing the game with real tiles! Since I've already included lists of mahjong terms in some of my previous guides and I want to place an emphasis on explaining the terminology used in the game, I've decided to produce this in the form of a non-alphabetical glossary, with detailed definitions for each entry, terms given in Japanese text, categorised sections and hyperlinks between them.

  • The Logical Linguistics
    International Journal of Latest Research in Humanities and Social Science (IJLRHSS) Volume 01 - Issue 11, www.ijlrhss.com || PP. 10-48 The Logical Linguistics: Logic of Phonemes and Morae Contained in Speech Sound Stream and the Logic of Dichotomy and Dualism equipped in Neurons and Mobile Neurons Inside the Cerebrospinal Fluid in Ventricular System Interacting for the Unconscious Grammatical Processing and Constitute Meaning of Concepts. (A Molecular Level Bio-linguistic Approach) Kumon “Kimiaki” TOKUMARU Independent Researcher Abstract: This is an interdisciplinary integration on the origins of modern human language as well as the in- brain linguistic processing mechanism. In accordance with the OSI Reference Model, the author divides the entire linguistic procedure into logical layer activities inside the speaker‟s and listener‟s brains, and the physical layer phenomena, i.e. the speech sound stream or equivalent coded signals such as texts, broadcasting, telecommunications and bit data. The entire study started in 2007, when the author visitedthe Klasies River Mouth (KRM) Caves in South Africafor the first time, the oldest modern human site in the world.The archaeological excavation in 1967- 68 (Singer Wymer 1982) confirmed that (anatomically) modern humanshad lived inside the caves duringthe period120 – 60 Ka (thousand years ago), which overlaps with the timing of language acquisition, 75 Ka (Shima 2004). Following this first visitIstarted an interdisciplinary investigation into linguistic evolution and the in- brain processing mechanism of language through reading various books and articles. The idea that the human language is digital was obtained unexpectedly. The Naked-Mole Rats (Heterocephalus glaber) are eusocial and altruistic. They live underground tunnel in tropical savanna of East Africa.

  • Exaptation, Grammaticalization, and Reanalysis
    Heiko Narrog Tohoku University Exaptation, Grammaticalization, and Reanalysis Abstract The goal of this paper is to argue that exaptation, as introduced into the study of language change by Lass (1990, 1997), in specific functional domains, is a limited alternative to grammaticalization. Exaptation, similarly to grammaticalization, leads to the formation of grammatical elements. Like grammaticalization, exaptation is based on the mechanism of reanalysis. It decisively differs from grammaticalization, however, as it implies change in the opposite direction, namely from material absorbed in the lexicon back to grammatical material. Two sets of data are presented as evidence for the replicability of this process. One involves the occurrence of exaptation across languages in a specific semantic domain, namely, the evolution of morphological causatives out of lexical verb patterns. The other data pertain to recurrent processes of exaptation in one language, namely in Japanese, where exaptation figures in the development of various morphological categories. In all cases of exaptation, reanalysis is crucially involved. This serves to show that reanalysis may be more fundamental to grammatical change than both grammaticalization and exaptation. Furthermore, it allows for change both with the usual directionality of grammaticalization and against it. 1. Introduction Even detractors of grammaticalization theory do not seriously challenge the fact that in the majority of cases the morphosyntactic and semantic development of grammatical material follows the paths outlined in the standard literature on grammaticalization. The two following California Linguistic Notes Volume XXXII No. 1 Winter, 2007 2 issues, however, potentially pose a critical challenge to the validity of the theory. First, there is the question of the theoretical status of grammaticalization as a coherent and unique concept.

  • A Study of Proposition and Modality Focusing on Epistemic Modals in the Japanese Language
    A Study of Proposition and Modality Focusing on Epistemic Modals in the Japanese Language Kazuyuki Matsushita A thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy of the Australian National University March 2006 Declaration Except where it is otherwise acknowledged in the text, this thesis is entirely my own work Kazuyuki Matsushita March, 2006 Acknowledgements I would like to express my deepest thanks to my supervisor Dr. Peter Hendriks. He has given precious advice, and encouragement throughout my candidature. In particular, he has provided me with suitable terms to solve semantic gaps between English and Japanese. I am grateful for the time he has spent on my behalf. I wish to thank my associate supervisor Dr. Nicolette Bramley of the University of Canberra, who has provided excellent advice and criticism to improve my draft. I could not have done without Dr. Gail Craswell, at the Academic Skills and Learning Centre, who reviewed my thesis and made significant comments on my drafts. I am also grateful to Dr. Meredith McKinney, who has carefully proofread my draft. I would like to thank Prof. Junsaku Fundō and the late Prof. Kazuo Suzuki, who have given me encouragement to continue my studies since I studied at Tokyo Kyōiku University. Finally, I want to express my gratitude to my wife Sachiko, who read my draft conscientiously, pointed out inappropriate examples, and has supported me through hard times and good times. Canberra, Australia March 2006 Kazuyuki Matsushita ii Abstract This study discusses proposition and modality in the Japanese language, focusing on epistemic modals. In the literature of modality recently, detailed discussions of individual modals have been made to clarify their function.
